Diversified Option Writing Strategy

Program Summary October 2011

The Diversified Option Writing Strategy primarily entails selling of options (puts and calls but not necessarily both at the same time) on futures contracts in a diversified set of markets. Currently the targeted markets include: interest rate (30 Year Treasury Bond), energy (Crude Oil), foreign currency futures (Euro/USD), metal (Gold) and to a lesser extent grain (Corn) products. The Advisor may trade a broader portfolio of commodity markets in the future. The Advisor does not have a fixed lot allocation for each market but scales into and out of positions depending on market dynamics. For instance, the Advisor would sell some options in a certain market and depending on the market's reaction in the following days would increase his position, leave the position unchanged or reduce it. These adjustments can be quite frequent making the program as a whole rather active. The Advisor balances the portfolio based on the exchange margin requirement and not necessarily based on lot size. Not all markets may be traded at the same time. The Advisor trades a select set of markets and products that matches his strategy and has a potential to improve the return for the overall program.
