Current ASMH snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $102.34, ATM IV 48.50%, expected move 13.90%. The collar on ASMH 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 ASMH specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ASMH is inferred from ATM IV at 48.50% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.90% (roughly $14.23 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 ASMH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ASMH should anchor to the underlying notional of $102.34 per share and to the trader's directional view on ASMH etf.
ASMH collar setup
The ASMH 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 ASMH near $102.34, the first option leg uses a $107.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ASMH 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 ASMH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ASMH thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ASMH extends from approximately $88.11 on the downside to $116.57 on the upside. A ASMH collar hedges an existing long ASMH 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. As a Financial Services name, ASMH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ASMH-specific events.
ASMH 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. ASMH positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ASMH alongside the broader basket even when ASMH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ASMH chain quotes before placing a trade.
