What are options? 

(On screen “Investing in options involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.”)

More investors are adding options to their portfolios because they can be useful tools for generating income, reducing downside risk and other potential benefits.

Buyers and sellers of options have the potential to profit if certain market conditions are met.

So how does this work?

A call option (Title and first bullet come on screen) gives the holder the right to buy an asset, such as a stock, at a certain price, called the strike price.

Buyers pay a premium for call options because they believe the asset will surpass the strike price by a certain date.

If it does, (second bullet comes on screen) the buyer would profit by purchasing the asset at the lower strike price and selling it at the higher market price.

(third bullet comes on screen) If the asset doesn’t reach the strike price, the seller of the option profits from the premium paid by the buyer.

Let’s say there’s a stock that’s currently trading at $50.

The buyer purchases a call option with a strike price of $55.

If the stock’s price rises to $60 before the option expires, the buyer can purchase the stock at the $55 strike price and then sell it at the $60 market price for a profit.

But if the stock’s price doesn’t go over the $55 strike price, the seller of the option profits by keeping the premium paid by the buyer.

A put option (Title and first bullet come on screen) gives the holder the right to sell an asset at the strike price.

Buyers pay a premium for put options because they believe the asset will fall below the strike price by a certain date.

If it does, (second bullet comes on screen) the buyer would profit by purchasing the asset at the lower market price and selling it at the higher strike price.

(third bullet comes on screen) If the asset doesn’t fall below the strike price, the seller of the option profits from the premium paid by the buyer.

Let’s say there’s a stock that’s currently trading at $50.

The buyer purchases a put option with a strike price of $45.

If the stock’s price falls to $40 before the option expires, the buyer can purchase the stock at the market price of $40 and then sell it at the $45 strike price for a profit.

But if the stock’s price doesn’t go below the strike price of $45, the seller of the option profits by keeping the premium paid by the buyer.

You don’t have to do all of this yourself. Access to professionally managed options-based strategies has never been easier thanks to exchange-traded products such as Invesco’s Income Advantage Strategies.

Cover slide: How do options generate income?

(On screen “Investing in options involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.”)

More investors are adding options to their portfolios as an additional way to generate income.

So how does this work, and how is option income different than income from other investments?

When an investor buys an option, they’re getting the ability to buy or sell a specific asset, like a stock, by a certain date at a certain price, called the strike price.

On the other side of that transaction is the seller of the option. The seller collects a premium from the buyer, which is considered income.

The income generated from options is driven by different forces than income from bonds or dividend-paying stocks.

For example, traditional bond exposures are exposed to interest rate risk. Equity options have the potential to deliver attractive income no matter the rate environment or the actions by the Federal Reserve.

Instead, the yield from selling equity options is impacted by the strike price of the option as well as expectations for equity market volatility. 

When equity market volatility is high, option premiums increase and push the yields higher as compensation for the underlying asset's higher expected price variability. Price variability increases the chances that the asset's price could rise above the strike price, in which case the buyer of the option could require the seller to sell the asset and miss out on potential gains.

Option income strategies can be an effective way of generating a steady stream of monthly income while maintaining exposure to equities.

You don’t have to do all of this yourself. Access to professionally managed options-based strategies has never been easier thanks to exchange-traded products such as Invesco’s Income Advantage Strategies.

How do options help with downside risk?

(On screen “Investing in options involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.”)

Generating income while limiting downside risk is an appealing prospect for many equity investors. Selling options on a portion of your stock portfolio can help with that objective.

When you sell an option on a stock, you collect a premium from the buyer — which helps offset any potential losses your equity portfolio may experience if stock prices fall. If the stock price falls, the premium you collected can help offset some of the losses in your stock portfolio. This is because the premium acts as a cushion against the decline in stock value.

In exchange for that upfront income and downside risk mitigation, you would have less upside potential in your equity portfolio, since the buyer of the option would have the right to purchase some of your stock if it hits a specified price. If the stock price rises to a certain level (the strike price), the buyer of the option has the right to buy your stock at that price. This means you might miss out on some of the higher profits if the stock price goes up significantly.

If the prospect of generating consistent monthly income, mitigating equity risk, and maintaining equity exposure sounds appealing, there’s no need to manage options on your own.  Access to professionally managed options-based strategies has never been easier thanks to exchange-traded products such as Invesco’s Income Advantage Strategies.

What differentiates options strategies?

(On screen “Investing in options involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.”)

Option income ETFs can be an effective way to generate monthly income while maintaining exposure to equities.

But not all option income ETFs are alike. There are significant differences “under the hood” that may drive investor outcomes.

So what should investors look out for when considering an options income ETF? Here are three considerations.

Strike prices

First, many option income managers will allow their yields to fluctuate as market volatility changes. But Invesco Income Advantage ETFs seek to provide investors with a more consistent yield through time by actively adjusting the strike prices as market volatility changes.     

Calls and puts

Second, some ETFs sell only calls or only puts. But our ETFs sell both. By combining calls and puts, this helps us balance the market participation and yield trade-off through different market volatility environments.

Equity-linked notes  

Third, there are different ways that options can be implemented. Our ETFs use equity-linked notes, or ELNs, which are financial instruments that combine features of stocks and stock options into a single note. They offer the benefits of both equity investments and derivatives like put or call options, and have a number of features that we consider attractive.  

Contact your Invesco representative to learn more about how Invesco Income Advantage ETFs can help provide investors with a consistent stream of monthly income while maintaining exposure to equity markets.

Frequently asked questions

An option is a financial instrument that gives the option holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a set quantity or dollar value of a particular asset at a fixed price by a certain date. Options are a useful instrument for generating income outside of more traditional means, like collecting dividends on stocks or interest on bonds.

When an investor sells an option, they’re giving the buyer the ability to buy or sell a specific asset by a certain date at a predetermined price. In return, the seller collects an option premium from the buyer, which is considered income. Option income strategies can be an effective way of generating a steady stream of monthly income while maintaining exposure to equities.

The income generated from options has a different set of sensitivities and drivers than income from bonds or dividend-paying stocks. For example, traditional bond exposures have interest rate risk. Equity options avoid interest rate risk. Instead, the yield from selling equity options is impacted by the implied equity market volatility.  When equity market volatility is high, option premiums will increase and push the yields higher.

Option income strategies can be designed in a number of different ways. In the case of QQA and RSPA, we use equity-linked notes to efficiently execute a tailored option income strategy designed to generate a steady income stream for investors. We partner with several reputable global banks who execute our customized option strategy.

Invesco QQQ is one of the most actively traded securities, with a history dating back to 1999. QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 index, which includes companies at the forefront of many long-term innovative themes shaping today’s economy. For more information on how innovation may help drive the performance of Invesco QQQ, click here.

Source: Bloomberg L.P., QQQ is the 2nd most-traded ETF in the US based on average daily volume traded, as of June 30, 2024.

Both funds track the Nasdaq-100 Index. QQA gives up some of the upside potential of that stock index in exchange for a monthly stream of income from its options component.

Both funds track the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, which consists of the same companies within the market cap-weighted S&P 500 Index but equally weights them (each company has the same weight of 0.20%). RSPA gives up some of the upside potential of that stock index in exchange for a monthly stream of income from its options component.

Potential uses for Income Advantage ETFs include reducing risk in equity portfolios, diversifying exposures to other sources of income, and increasing portfolio cash flows.

Invesco has deep expertise in managing ETFs. QQQ launched in 1999 establishing the standard for investing in innovation. Over 20 years ago, RSP helped reinvent how clients access the S&P 500. And we’ve managed option overlay strategies for multi-asset portfolios since 2018.
