We present a risk-return optimization framework to select strike prices and quantities of call options to sell in a covered call strategy. Covered calls of a general form are considered where call options with different strike prices can be sold simultaneously. Tractable formulations are developed using variance, semivariance, VaR, and CVaR as risk measures. Sample expected return and sample risk...
We consider an approach for ex post evaluation of approximate solutions obtained by a well known simple greedy method for set packing. A performance bound is derived that is a function of the highest average reward per item over subsets as well as the number of allocated subsets and ground items. This a posterior bound can enable much revelation of optimality when the solution is near optimal. One...
