The ProShares - DJ Brookfield Global Infrastructure ETF (TOLZ) aims to track an index composed of companies worldwide that are exclusively focused on infrastructure.

Investors should be aware that this fund operates as a non-diversified investment.
TOLZ (ProShares - DJ Brookfield Global Infrastructure ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Global, with a market capitalization of approximately $174.2M, a beta of 0.49 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 52.39-62.22, average daily share volume of 22K, a public-listing history dating back to 2014. These structural characteristics shape how TOLZ etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.49 indicates TOLZ has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. TOLZ pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

Current TOLZ snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $59.67, ATM IV 26.00%, IV rank 30.06%, expected move 7.45%. The cash-secured put on TOLZ 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 53-day expiry.
Why this cash-secured put structure on TOLZ specifically: TOLZ IV at 26.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a TOLZ cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.45% (roughly $4.45 on the underlying). The 53-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TOLZ expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TOLZ should anchor to the underlying notional of $59.67 per share and to the trader's directional view on TOLZ etf.
TOLZ cash-secured put setup
The TOLZ cash-secured put below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TOLZ near $59.67, the first option leg uses a $57.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TOLZ chain at a 53-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 TOLZ shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TOLZ thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TOLZ extends from approximately $55.22 on the downside to $64.12 on the upside. A TOLZ cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire TOLZ at the strike price; the strategy is most attractive when the trader is comfortable holding the underlying at that level and IV is rich enough to compensate for the assignment risk. Current TOLZ IV rank near 30.06% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on TOLZ should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, TOLZ options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TOLZ-specific events.
TOLZ cash-secured put positions are structurally neutral to slightly bullish; 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. TOLZ positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TOLZ alongside the broader basket even when TOLZ-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on TOLZ carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TOLZ earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TOLZ chain quotes before placing a trade.
