WTMF (WisdomTree Managed Futures Strategy Fund), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on AMEX.

This actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) primarily directs at least 80% of its net assets, including any funds borrowed for investment purposes, into "managed futures." Its objective is to generate favorable absolute returns in various market conditions, including periods of growth or decline, with performance largely independent of conventional equity or fixed-income market fluctuations. The fund utilizes a non-diversified investment strategy.

WTMF (WisdomTree Managed Futures Strategy Fund) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $235.8M, a beta of 0.28 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 34.89-41.55, average daily share volume of 27K, a public-listing history dating back to 2011. These structural characteristics shape how WTMF etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

What is a iron condor on WTMF?

Current WTMF snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $40.52, ATM IV 86.50%, IV rank 63.62%, expected move 24.80%. The iron condor on WTMF 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 18-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on WTMF specifically: WTMF IV at 86.50% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a WTMF iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 24.80% (roughly $10.05 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated WTMF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WTMF should anchor to the underlying notional of $40.52 per share and to the trader's directional view on WTMF etf.

WTMF iron condor setup

The WTMF iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With WTMF near $40.52, the first option leg uses a $43.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WTMF chain at a 18-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 WTMF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

WTMF thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WTMF extends from approximately $30.47 on the downside to $50.57 on the upside. A WTMF iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when WTMF 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 WTMF IV rank near 63.62% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on WTMF should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, WTMF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WTMF-specific events.

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