Buffer Protection Option Strategy
A Buffer Protection Option Strategy is a protection strategy that is generally used in a bear, range-bound or modest bull market environment. It seeks to provide a buffer of protection against downside losses over a set period of time, while still providing the opportunity for growth to a maximum pre-determined level.
The strategy seeks to provide similar returns to the S&P 500 Index, with lower volatility and downside risks, in most market environments with the exception of when the stock market is rallying rapidly.
