Yield Premium Portfolio
The Yield Premium portfolio generates high current income. We select very liquid high dividend/yield ETFs (macro risk only) that pay frequent (monthly dividends) then sell calls against the positions to earn additional option premium. This is a low-risk call-write strategy designed to generate income even in non-directional equity/bond markets. We select the call strike prices after a consideration of the current ETF price (tight call strikes after big price run-ups and distant call strikes when price has fallen and turned higher). Note that accounts must have around a minimum of $100’000 in order to buy round lots (100 shares) of the ETF products to match the subsequent cover call positions.
