XMMO Collar Strategy
XMMO (Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management - Global industry), listed on AMEX.
The Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF (XMMO) is designed to track the S&P Midcap 400 Momentum Index. It commits at least 90% of its total assets to the component securities of this index. The underlying index itself consists of 80 stocks selected from the S&P Midcap 400 Index. These are chosen based on their superior "momentum scores," which quantify each security's upward price movement relative to other eligible companies within the S&P Midcap 400. Both the ETF and its benchmark index are rebalanced and reconstituted twice a year.
XMMO (Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Global, with a market capitalization of approximately $8.48B, a beta of 1.10 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 128.83-173.94, average daily share volume of 388K, a public-listing history dating back to 2005. These structural characteristics shape how XMMO etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 1.10 places XMMO roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. XMMO pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a collar on XMMO?
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.
XMMO snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $165.00, ATM IV 19.10%, IV rank 1.33%, expected move 5.48%. The collar on XMMO 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 XMMO specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed XMMO IV at 19.10% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.48% (roughly $9.04 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 XMMO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on XMMO should anchor to the underlying notional of $165.00 per share and to the trader's directional view on XMMO etf.
XMMO collar setup
The XMMO 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 XMMO at $165.00 on that close, the first option leg uses a $175.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed XMMO 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 XMMO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 1 | Call | $175.00 | $0.68 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $155.00 | $0.94 |

Collars on XMMO hedge an existing long XMMO etf position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.
XMMO thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for XMMO extends from approximately $155.96 on the downside to $174.04 on the upside. A XMMO collar hedges an existing long XMMO 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 XMMO IV rank near 1.33% 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 XMMO at 19.10%. As a Financial Services name, XMMO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to XMMO-specific events.
XMMO 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. XMMO positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move XMMO alongside the broader basket even when XMMO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current XMMO chain quotes before placing a trade.
