1 ETF Options Presented by The Options Industry Council OPTIONS
2 ETF Options Options involve risks and are not suitable for everyone. Prior to buying or selling options, an investor must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Copies may be obtained by contacting your broker or The Options Industry Council at One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL In order to simplify the computations, commissions, fees, margin interest and taxes have not been included in the examples used in these materials. These costs will impact the outcome of all stock and options transactions and must be considered prior to entering into any transactions. Investors should consult their tax advisor about any potential tax consequences. Any strategies discussed, including examples using actual securities and price data, are strictly for illustrative and educational purposes only and are not to be construed as an endorsement, recommendation, or solicitation to buy or sell securities. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

17 Long or Short ETF Options Investor s Choices Long Option Short Option Exercise Accept assignment Let it expire Let it expire Sell to close Buy to close (cover)
18 ETF Options Strategies Buying Calls Buying Puts Covered Calls Cash-Secured Puts Fictional ETF = XYZ
19 Buy ETF Call Bullish position on underlying ETF Small cash outlay (compared to ETF purchase) Profit and loss potential Profit unlimited with increasing ETF price Loss pre-defined limited to premium paid
20 Buy ETF Call Example Opinion: bullish forecast on XYZ over next three months Motivation Speculate on rising XYZ price, or Purchase of XYZ shares Action XYZ currently trading at $150 Buy one 3-month XYZ 150 call Pay quoted price of $6.00 ($600 total)
21 Example: Buy 1 XYZ 150 Call at $6 At Expiration ETF Price Value of Call Cost of Call Total Profit (Loss) (6) (6) (6)
22 Example: Buy 1 XYZ 150 Call at $6 Profit Unlimited Profit Potential Limited Loss = $ Increasing ETF Price Loss
23 Example: Buy 1 XYZ 150 Call at $6 If call exercised net XYZ purchase price: 150 strike + $6 premium paid = $156 per share
24 Buy ETF Put Bearish position on underlying ETF Small cash outlay (compared to short sale of ETF shares) Profit and loss potential Profit potential is substantial (limited only by ETF price declining to no less than zero) Loss pre-defined limited to premium paid
25 Buy ETF Put Example Opinion: bearish forecast on XYZ over next six months Motivation Speculate on declining XYZ price, or Insurance for XYZ shares held Action XYZ currently trading at $132 Buy one 6-month XYZ 135 put Pay quoted price of $7.00 ($700 total)
26 Example: Buy 1 XYZ 135 Put at $7 At Expiration ETF Price Value of Put Cost of Put Total Profit (Loss) (7) (7) (7)
27 Example: Buy 1 XYZ 135 Put at $7 Profit Substantial Profit XYZ at 0 Limited Loss = $ Increasing ETF Price Loss
28 Example: Buy 1 XYZ 135 Put at $7 If put exercised net XYZ sale price: 135 strike $7 premium paid = $128 per share
29 Covered ETF Call Moderately bullish position on underlying ETF position Premium received from sale of call (and kept) Profit and loss potential Profit potential limited Loss potential substantial with declining ETF price
30 Covered ETF Call Example Opinion: moderately bullish forecast on XYZ over next three months Motivation Limited downside protection for XYZ shares held Generation of income from sale of call Action 100 XYZ shares previously purchased at $52 XYZ currently trading at $54 Sell one 3-month XYZ 55 call Received quoted price of $3.00 ($300 total)
31 Example: Sell 1 XYZ 55 Call at $3 Buy 100 XYZ at $52 At Expiration ETF Price Long ETF Profit (Loss) Short Call Profit (Loss) Total Profit (Loss) 45 (7) 3 (4) 50 (2) (2) (7) 6
32 Example: Sell 1 XYZ 55 Call at $3 Buy 100 XYZ at $52 Profit Max Profit = $ Increasing ETF Price Loss Covered Call Long ETF
33 Example: Sell 1 XYZ 55 Call at $3 Buy 100 XYZ at $52 If call assigned, maximum profit: $3 XYZ profit + $3 short call = $6 ($600 total) Return on investment (over 3 months): If 100 XYZ paid for in full ($5,200) = 11.5% If 100 XYZ purchased on margin (50%) = 23% Downside protection on XYZ shares = $52 - $3 = $49 Below $49 the risk is the same as unhedged ETF shares Consider writing covered ETF calls tax-free in your Roth IRA
34 Cash-Secured ETF Put Neutral to slightly bullish Premium received from sale of put (and kept) Profit and loss potential Profit potential limited to premium received from sale of put Loss potential substantial with declining ETF price
35 Cash-Secured ETF Put Example Opinion: neutral to slightly bullish forecast on XYZ over next several months Motivation Speculative profit on sale of put, or Purchase XYZ shares at lower than current level Action XYZ currently trading at $52 Sell one 3-month XYZ 50 put for $4.00 ($400 total) Deposit $5,000 in brokerage account for total share purchase if assigned
36 Example: Sell 1 XYZ 50 Put at $4 Deposit $5,000 At Expiration ETF Price Value of Put Put Premium Received Total Profit (Loss) 40 (10) 4 (6) 45 (5) 4 (1)
37 Example: Sell 1 XYZ 50 Put at $4 Deposit $5,000 Profit Max Profit = $ Increasing ETF Price Loss
38 Example: Sell 1 XYZ 50 Put at $4 Deposit $5,000 If put assigned net XYZ purchase price: 50 strike $4 premium received = $46 per share
39 Summary Among the benefits ETF shares offer Diversity of market coverage with one trade Trade like stock on an exchange Lower management costs and certain tax advantages vs. closed-end funds ETF options are much like regular equity options Similar characteristics and contract terms Offer flexibility and a wide range of strategies Can be used for speculation Can be used to help control market risk Can be used to help generate income
