VTR snapshot

As of September 29, 2026, spot at $86.73, ATM IV 22.60%, IV rank 53.44%, expected move 6.48%. The collar on VTR below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 17-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on VTR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range VTR IV at 22.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.48% (roughly $5.62 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated VTR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on VTR should anchor to the underlying notional of $86.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on VTR stock.

VTR collar setup

The VTR collar below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With VTR at $86.73 on that close, the first option leg uses a $90.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed VTR chain at a 17-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 VTR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 100 shares	Stock	$86.73	long
Sell 1	Call	$90.00	$0.70
Buy 1	Put	$82.50	$0.76

VTR thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for VTR extends from approximately $81.11 on the downside to $92.35 on the upside. A VTR collar hedges an existing long VTR 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 VTR IV rank near 53.44% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on VTR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Real Estate name, VTR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to VTR-specific events.

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