Current JLL snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $288.21, ATM IV 33.80%, IV rank 32.43%, expected move 9.69%. The collar on JLL 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 collar structure on JLL specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range JLL IV at 33.80% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.69% (roughly $27.93 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 JLL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on JLL should anchor to the underlying notional of $288.21 per share and to the trader's directional view on JLL stock.

JLL collar setup

The JLL collar below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With JLL near $288.21, the first option leg uses a $300.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed JLL 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 JLL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 100 shares	Stock	$288.21	long
Sell 1	Call	$300.00	$7.00
Buy 1	Put	$270.00	$5.45

JLL thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for JLL extends from approximately $260.28 on the downside to $316.14 on the upside. A JLL collar hedges an existing long JLL 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 JLL IV rank near 32.43% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on JLL should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Real Estate name, JLL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to JLL-specific events.

JLL 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. JLL positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move JLL alongside the broader basket even when JLL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current JLL chain quotes before placing a trade.
