RDIV Collar Strategy
RDIV (Invesco S&P Ultra Dividend Revenue ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management - Income industry), listed on AMEX.
The Invesco S&P Ultra Dividend Revenue ETF aims to mirror the performance of the S&P 900 Dividend Revenue-Weighted Index. This involves allocating a minimum of 90% of its total capital to the securities that constitute this benchmark index. The underlying Index employs a systematic, rules-based approach originating from the broader S&P 900 Index. This process first filters out the highest 5% of securities based on dividend yield. Subsequently, it removes the 5% of securities with the highest dividend payout ratios from each specific sector. From the remaining pool, the sixty securities exhibiting the highest dividend yields are chosen.
RDIV (Invesco S&P Ultra Dividend Revenue ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Income, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.27B, a beta of 0.79 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 49.22-64.07, average daily share volume of 66K, a public-listing history dating back to 2013. These structural characteristics shape how RDIV etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.79 places RDIV roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. RDIV pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a collar on RDIV?

RDIV snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $63.70, ATM IV 16.70%, IV rank 7.92%, expected move 4.79%. The collar on RDIV 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 35-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on RDIV specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed RDIV IV at 16.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 4.79% (roughly $3.05 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 RDIV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RDIV should anchor to the underlying notional of $63.70 per share and to the trader's directional view on RDIV etf.
RDIV collar setup
The RDIV collar 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 RDIV at $63.70 on that close, 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 RDIV 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 RDIV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RDIV thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RDIV extends from approximately $60.65 on the downside to $66.75 on the upside. A RDIV collar hedges an existing long RDIV 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 RDIV IV rank near 7.92% 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 RDIV at 16.70%. As a Financial Services name, RDIV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RDIV-specific events.
RDIV 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. RDIV positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RDIV alongside the broader basket even when RDIV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RDIV chain quotes before placing a trade.
