Did You Know

 

  • That buying shares and writing options over those shares out performs just owning shares alone*
  • The wealth effect of the buy-write stragety comes "by writing options and collecting premium income"*
 

The Buy Write is an options investment strategy in which an investor simultaneously buys shares and writes a call option contract over an equivalent number of shares. If the shares are already held from a previous purchase, it is commonly referred to as covered call writing. Buy Write is the most basic and widely used options investment strategy, combining the flexibility of listed options with share ownership.

The strategy of buying shares and writing options is eligible within Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs), provided it is allowed for in the Fund’s investment strategy.*

History tells us that writing covered calls over shares that you hold out performs just holding shares alone.*

If you already own shares then arguably your risk does not change if you write an option over those shares. Only two outcomes can happen:

  • The covered call option contract expires worthless and you retain the shares, or
  • The contract is exercised and the shares are sold for the price agreed in the contract.
