Current HAUS snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $18.31, ATM IV 20.50%, IV rank 23.16%, expected move 5.88%. The collar on HAUS 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 HAUS specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed HAUS IV at 20.50% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.88% (roughly $1.08 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 HAUS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on HAUS should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.31 per share and to the trader's directional view on HAUS etf.
HAUS collar setup
The HAUS 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 HAUS near $18.31, the first option leg uses a $19.23 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed HAUS 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 HAUS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $18.31 | long |

| Buy 1 | Put | $17.39 | N/A |

HAUS thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for HAUS extends from approximately $17.23 on the downside to $19.39 on the upside. A HAUS collar hedges an existing long HAUS 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 HAUS IV rank near 23.16% 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 HAUS at 20.50%. As a Financial Services name, HAUS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to HAUS-specific events.
HAUS 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. HAUS positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move HAUS alongside the broader basket even when HAUS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current HAUS chain quotes before placing a trade.
