AMYY Collar Strategy
AMYY (GraniteShares YieldBOOST AMD ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management - Leveraged industry), listed on NASDAQ.
This fund's primary goal is to generate income equivalent to 200% (twice) that derived from selling options tied to Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It achieves this not by directly trading options on AMD itself, but by selling options on a specific, leveraged exchange-traded fund (referred to as the "Underlying Leveraged ETF"). This particular ETF is designed to deliver 200% (twice) the daily performance of AMD. A secondary objective of the fund is to gain exposure to the performance of this Underlying Leveraged ETF, though potential investment gains are subject to a predefined ceiling. Furthermore, the fund has the option to implement measures for downside protection, which, if utilized, could affect the overall net income generated.

Current AMYY snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $15.69, ATM IV 85.40%, IV rank 17.35%, expected move 24.48%. The collar on AMYY 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 18-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on AMYY specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed AMYY IV at 85.40% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 24.48% (roughly $3.84 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AMYY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AMYY should anchor to the underlying notional of $15.69 per share and to the trader's directional view on AMYY etf.
AMYY collar setup
The AMYY 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 AMYY near $15.69, the first option leg uses a $16.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AMYY chain at a 18-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 AMYY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $15.69 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $16.00 | $1.19 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $15.00 | $0.98 |

AMYY thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AMYY extends from approximately $11.85 on the downside to $19.53 on the upside. A AMYY collar hedges an existing long AMYY 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 AMYY IV rank near 17.35% 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 AMYY at 85.40%. As a Financial Services name, AMYY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AMYY-specific events.
AMYY 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. AMYY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AMYY alongside the broader basket even when AMYY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current AMYY chain quotes before placing a trade.
