Volos Celebrates New Licenses of Daily Covered Call Indexes
Volos is proud to announce that our innovative daily covered call indexes, originally developed in collaboration with Nasdaq, are now being licensed to Samsung Asset Management and Mirae Asset Management.
This expansion follows the successful launch of the same indexes by ProShares in early 2024, hinting at the growing adoption of systematic options strategies in global financial markets.
Expanding Access to Covered Call Strategies
Covered call strategies have long been a staple for income-focused investors seeking to enhance yield while managing risk. The Volos daily covered call indexes, designed to systematically implement this approach, provide a transparent and rules-based methodology for generating options premiums on a daily basis. By integrating these indexes into their financial products, Samsung Asset Management and Mirae Asset Management are bringing sophisticated options-based income strategies to a broader investor base.
Strengthening Global ETF Offerings
Samsung Asset Management and Mirae Asset Management—two of the most prominent financial institutions in Asia—are incorporating Volos’ covered call indexes into their exchange-traded fund (ETF) offerings, specifically through the Tiger ETF and Kodex ETF brands. These new products aim to provide investors with a systematic way to generate additional yield while maintaining exposure to equities, a compelling strategy in today's volatile market environment.
Looking Ahead
As global markets continue to evolve, Volos remains committed to developing systematic options software and index solutions that empower asset managers, ETF issuers, and institutional investors.
