15 Years Of 2% OTM Options On The Russell 2000

The University of Massachusetts recently released a study on covered calls that examines returns on a buy-write strategy for the Russell 2000 index over a 15 year period. The short summary: "Over the 182 month period of analysis, the RUT buy‐write strategy using 2% out‐of‐the‐money, one‐month calls generated higher returns than the underlying index (8.87% versus 8.11%) at about three‐quarters of the standard deviation (16.57% versus 21.06%)." Higher returns with less volatility? Works for us. We discuss this 34-page report (and make it available for download) in our article on Covered Call Return.
