ICVT snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $119.49, ATM IV 18.90%, IV rank 13.63%, expected move 5.42%. The iron condor on ICVT below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 7-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on ICVT specifically: ICVT IV at 18.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling ICVT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.42% (roughly $6.47 on the underlying).

ICVT iron condor setup

The ICVT iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ICVT at $119.49 on that close, the first option leg uses a $125.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ICVT chain at a 7-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 ICVT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$125.00	$0.82
Buy 1	Call	$130.00	$0.23
Sell 1	Put	$115.00	$1.34

ICVT thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ICVT extends from approximately $113.02 on the downside to $125.96 on the upside. A ICVT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when ICVT stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current ICVT IV rank near 13.63% 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 ICVT at 18.90%. As a Financial Services name, ICVT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ICVT-specific events.

ICVT iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; 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. ICVT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ICVT alongside the broader basket even when ICVT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on ICVT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ICVT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ICVT chain quotes before placing a trade.
