Current TPG snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $41.87, ATM IV 42.00%, IV rank 35.34%, expected move 12.04%. The collar on TPG 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 98-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on TPG specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range TPG IV at 42.00% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.04% (roughly $5.04 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 TPG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TPG should anchor to the underlying notional of $41.87 per share and to the trader's directional view on TPG stock.
TPG collar setup
The TPG 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 TPG near $41.87, the first option leg uses a $45.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TPG 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 TPG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TPG thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TPG extends from approximately $36.83 on the downside to $46.91 on the upside. A TPG collar hedges an existing long TPG 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 TPG IV rank near 35.34% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on TPG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, TPG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TPG-specific events.
TPG 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. TPG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TPG alongside the broader basket even when TPG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TPG chain quotes before placing a trade.
