At HORIZON OEIC LTD, our Option Strategies portfolio employs sophisticated techniques to capture value from market volatility imbalances while maintaining a controlled risk profile.
Our Methodology
Our approach is built on two primary frameworks:
Single Expiration Date Spreads
We construct carefully balanced option positions with identical expiration dates, allowing us to capitalise on pricing inefficiencies while neutralising directional exposure.
Calendar Spreads
By strategically positioning options with different expiration dates, we exploit the volatility term structure and generate returns from the natural decay of time value.
Risk Management Through Volatility Arbitrage
The cornerstone of our Option Strategies is our ability to identify and exploit local volatility imbalances in the market. Rather than taking directional bets on volatility, we:
- Analyze market pricing inconsistencies across strike prices and expiration dates
- Establish balanced positions that benefit from the correction of these inefficiencies
- Maintain neutrality against broad market volatility movements
- Continuously monitor and adjust positions to preserve optimal risk/reward profiles
Performance Characteristics
This strategy is designed to:
- Generate consistent returns independent of market direction
- Provide portfolio diversification through low correlation with traditional asset classes
- Deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns with controlled downside
- Perform particularly well during periods of volatility normalisation
