What is a collar on RSPR?
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.
Current RSPR snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $36.75, ATM IV 25.00%, IV rank 32.86%, expected move 7.17%. The collar on RSPR 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 17-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on RSPR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range RSPR IV at 25.00% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.17% (roughly $2.63 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RSPR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RSPR should anchor to the underlying notional of $36.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on RSPR etf.
RSPR collar setup
The RSPR 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 RSPR near $36.75, the first option leg uses a $38.59 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RSPR chain at a 17-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 RSPR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RSPR thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RSPR extends from approximately $34.12 on the downside to $39.38 on the upside. A RSPR collar hedges an existing long RSPR 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 RSPR IV rank near 32.86% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on RSPR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, RSPR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RSPR-specific events.
RSPR 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. RSPR positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RSPR alongside the broader basket even when RSPR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RSPR chain quotes before placing a trade.
