Writing Options against shares you already own or plan to purchase can be one of the simplest and most rewarding strategies ASX Explanatory Booklet, “Understanding Options Trading”
Introduction • In a volatile market where share prices are moving up and down, there is an opportunity to gain additional income from the stocks that you hold through writing options • This is a disciplined strategy designed to grow your portfolio • Value adding • Professionally managed to leave you time for the things that you want to do
What is an Option? “Gives the right to the purchaser to pay an agreed price for the underlying stock on or before an agreed date” Example - a $5.50 February Call Gives the purchaser of the call the right to Buy your shares for $5.50 on or before the end of February.
Uses for Options • Options can be used for a variety of reasons: • leverage (purely speculative) • Insurance (buying the right to purchase or sell in the future at a predetermined price) • Hedging (protection for existing stocks) • Income(selling options on existing stock)
How is an Option Priced? Rise in: Option Price • Time to Expiry () • Market Volatility () • Price of Underlying Share ()
Time Value Time $$$ 1/3 Time $ 2/3 Time $ Jan 1 Jun 30 Dec 31 Time
Advantages of Writing Call Options • Reducing down side risk on shares held • Multiple dividends on assets - cash flow • Taking advantage of volatile markets • Cumulative effect of regular income reinvesting prior to payment of tax
Disadvantages • Places a temporary limit on capital appreciation • trading secure cash flow for capital gain • when can you be exercised? • Need to watch shares and make monthly decisions • more onerous than buy and forget but not demanding • major reason for using a full service broker
Why use a Full Service Broker? • Co-ordination of share and option trades • Discussion of strategies with specialist with access to up to date information • Professional management of your funds with full reporting and accounting functions • Financial advice (as required)
Selling options for cash flow • Two methods: • leverage your purchase of shares • no leverage • Depends on attitude to borrowing and individual risk profile
Example Buy 1000 CWO shares at $3.91 = $3910 then Sell 1 CWO Feb $4.00 call option at $0.15 = $150 If at end of Feb CWO shares are less than $4.00 then profit = 150 / 3910 = 3.8% for the month If at end of Feb CWO shares are greater than $4.00 then sell shares at $4.00 with a profit of $90 + $150 = $240 therefore profit is 240 /3910 = 6.1% for the month N.B. All calculations are before transaction costs
