AIVI Collar Strategy
AIVI (WisdomTree International AI Enhanced Value Fund), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on AMEX.
The fund is actively managed and seeks to invest primarily in equity securities selected from a universe of developed market equities, excluding the United States and Canada, that exhibit value characteristics based on the selection results of a proprietary, quantitative artificial intelligence (“AI”) model developed by Sub-Adviser. The equity securities selected by the AI model typically have a lower price-to-book ratio, a lower price-to-earnings ratio, and greater free cash flow. The fund is non-diversified.

These structural characteristics shape how AIVI etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

What is a collar on AIVI?
A collar pairs long stock with a protective out-of-the-money put financed by a short out-of-the-money call, capping both tails of the position around the current spot.
Current AIVI snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $56.57, ATM IV 18.90%, IV rank 2.61%, expected move 5.42%. The collar on AIVI below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on AIVI specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed AIVI IV at 18.90% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.42% (roughly $3.07 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AIVI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AIVI should anchor to the underlying notional of $56.57 per share and to the trader's directional view on AIVI etf.
AIVI collar setup
The AIVI collar below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AIVI near $56.57, the first option leg uses a $59.40 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AIVI chain at a 34-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 AIVI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AIVI thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AIVI extends from approximately $53.50 on the downside to $59.64 on the upside. A AIVI collar hedges an existing long AIVI position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current AIVI IV rank near 2.61% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on AIVI at 18.90%. As a Financial Services name, AIVI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AIVI-specific events.
AIVI collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. AIVI positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AIVI alongside the broader basket even when AIVI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current AIVI chain quotes before placing a trade.
