:: Program Descriptions

.:: The Target Volatility Program

Since January 2000 this program has utilized stock index futures and options written on them exclusively. The program was modified in August 2002 to reduce the program’s volatility through the sale of options somewhat more distant from the future’s price than previously.

 

The program’s methodology is a proprietary, systematic, dynamic net (most option positions are hedged) option strangle selling program designed to capture premium decay as indicated above. The program is technical as opposed to fundamental in nature, and is fully quantified utilizing a number of parameters and algorithms. These include, among others, various volatility measures of the volatility of the S&P 500 index itself, methodology used to determine which options to sell, what quantity and expiration month to utilize, and other quantitative determinants, including the determination of exits when necessary whenever a position moves adversely.
