Current CRBG snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $27.52, ATM IV 43.20%, IV rank 51.80%, expected move 12.39%. The long put on CRBG 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 34-day expiry.

Why this long put structure on CRBG specifically: CRBG IV at 43.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.39% (roughly $3.41 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CRBG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CRBG should anchor to the underlying notional of $27.52 per share and to the trader's directional view on CRBG stock.

CRBG long put setup

The CRBG long 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 CRBG near $27.52, the first option leg uses a $28.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CRBG chain at a 34-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 CRBG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CRBG thesis for this long put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CRBG extends from approximately $24.11 on the downside to $30.93 on the upside. A CRBG long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long CRBG position with one put per 100 shares held. Current CRBG IV rank near 51.80% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long put thesis on CRBG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, CRBG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CRBG-specific events.

CRBG long put positions are structurally bearish; 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. CRBG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CRBG alongside the broader basket even when CRBG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on CRBG are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current CRBG chain quotes before placing a trade.
