A collar pairs long stock with a protective out-of-the-money put financed by a short out-of-the-money call, capping both tails of the position around the current spot.
MAGY snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $41.95, ATM IV 57.10%, IV rank 10.45%, expected move 16.37%. The collar on MAGY below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on MAGY specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed MAGY IV at 57.10% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.37% (roughly $6.87 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MAGY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MAGY should anchor to the underlying notional of $41.95 per share and to the trader's directional view on MAGY etf.
MAGY collar setup
The MAGY 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 MAGY at $41.95 on that close, the first option leg uses a $44.05 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MAGY chain at a 35-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 MAGY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

MAGY thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MAGY extends from approximately $35.08 on the downside to $48.82 on the upside. A MAGY collar hedges an existing long MAGY 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 MAGY IV rank near 10.45% 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 MAGY at 57.10%. As a Financial Services name, MAGY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MAGY-specific events.
MAGY 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. MAGY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MAGY alongside the broader basket even when MAGY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current MAGY chain quotes before placing a trade.
