The final step in the process screens out companies that havent exhibited these ESG characteristics for three consecutive years.

The Index undergoes annual reconstitution in October and quarterly rebalance starting each in January.

What is a butterfly on CPTL?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
CPTL snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $49.55, ATM IV 16.90%, expected move 4.85%. The butterfly on CPTL 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 98-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on CPTL specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CPTL is inferred from ATM IV at 16.90% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 4.85% (roughly $2.40 on the underlying). The 98-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CPTL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CPTL should anchor to the underlying notional of $49.55 per share and to the trader's directional view on CPTL stock.
CPTL butterfly setup
The CPTL butterfly 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 CPTL at $49.55 on that close, the first option leg uses a $47.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CPTL chain at a 98-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 CPTL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 2 | Call | $50.00 | $1.50 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $52.00 | $0.72 |

When traders use butterfly on CPTL
Butterflies on CPTL are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect CPTL to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
CPTL thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CPTL extends from approximately $47.15 on the downside to $51.95 on the upside. A CPTL long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if CPTL settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, CPTL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CPTL-specific events.
CPTL butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. CPTL positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CPTL alongside the broader basket even when CPTL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CPTL chain quotes before placing a trade.
