AVGX Collar Strategy
AVGX (Daily Target 2X Long AVGO ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on NASDAQ.
The Defiance Daily Target 2X Long AVGO ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment results of two times (200%) the daily percentage change in the share price of Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) (the “Underlying Security” or “AVGO”). AVGX does not invest directly in AVGO. Because the Fund seeks daily leveraged investment results, it is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. It is also riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its stated objective. The fund should not be expected to provide 2 times the cumulative return of AVGO for periods greater than a day.
AVGX (Daily Target 2X Long AVGO ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $154.6M, a beta of 3.96 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 23.661-70.31, average daily share volume of 675K, a public-listing history dating back to 2024. These structural characteristics shape how AVGX etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 3.96 indicates AVGX has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position. AVGX pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

Current AVGX snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $63.77, ATM IV 108.30%, IV rank 54.75%, expected move 31.05%. The collar on AVGX 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 AVGX specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range AVGX IV at 108.30% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 31.05% (roughly $19.80 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 AVGX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AVGX should anchor to the underlying notional of $63.77 per share and to the trader's directional view on AVGX etf.
AVGX collar setup
The AVGX 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 AVGX near $63.77, the first option leg uses a $67.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AVGX 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 AVGX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AVGX thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AVGX extends from approximately $43.97 on the downside to $83.57 on the upside. A AVGX collar hedges an existing long AVGX 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 AVGX IV rank near 54.75% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on AVGX should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, AVGX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AVGX-specific events.
AVGX 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. AVGX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AVGX alongside the broader basket even when AVGX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current AVGX chain quotes before placing a trade.
