Intensive Option Webinar: Modern Portfolio Protection

By Lawrence G. McMillan

Modern portfolio protection is not about guessing when the next decline will occur—it is about structuring your portfolio so that adverse market moves are manageable, and recoverable. In this seminar, we examine how options can be used both surgically and systematically to hedge risk at the individual stock level and across an entire portfolio. From collars and covered writing to index hedging and volatility-based protection, the emphasis is on practical implementation—balancing cost, efficiency, and effectiveness. We also address one of the most overlooked aspects of hedging: aligning your portfolio’s volatility with that of the hedging instrument. The result is a framework that allows investors to participate in upside markets while maintaining a defined, disciplined approach to downside risk.
