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 iron condor 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 iron condor structure on TPG specifically: TPG IV at 42.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a TPG iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, 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 iron condor setup
The TPG iron condor 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).

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 iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; 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. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on TPG carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TPG earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TPG chain quotes before placing a trade.
