STRATEGY

Managed Account Options Strategy

(an actively  managed equity and options portfolio focused on creating cash flow to meet the clients objectives)

Upon determining account growth and income objectives, Bass Rocks Asset Management will customize an appropriate core portfolio of equities and ETFs for the client’s options program. Our traders will often sell put options to enter into new positions, call options to enhance portfolio cash flow and will consider black swan hedging to offset some of the unforeseen downside risk inherent in all markets.
 
The portfolio allocation is strategically designed to deliver income by tactically selling short-term secured puts as well as covered calls against the appropriate percentage of the underlying holdings based on implied volatility, current trends, and client targets. The Twin LIghts account has a primary objective of cash flow and a secondary objective of modest growth of principal. 
 
Unlike a systematic covered call program, Bass Rocks Asset Management is not obligated to continuously cover each individual equity position and limit capital appreciation.

Holistic Asset Monitoring

(for either existing or new portfolios)

 

An actively  managed equity and options portfolio tailored to each clients objectives.
 
Bass Rocks provides holistic asset monitoring and manages the clients portfolio based on the individual needs of the client. 
 
Through personal discussions, objectives based on a client's particular circumstances and goals are established. We then develop a client's personal investment policy and re-allocate ( an exisiting portfolio) or allocate (a new portfolio) and manage the portfolio based on that policy. During initial and ongoing discussions we determine the client's individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs.

​

The primary objective is risk adjusted growth and the secondary objective is principal protection. 

​

The Good Harbor account can be suitable for investors seeking to protect unrealized gains by minimizing downside risk - a solution for existing, appreciated equity portfolios (IRA, IRA rollovers, Trust, Individual and joint accounts).

Low Cost Basis Stock Solutions

 

For clients who want to delay a sale of stock but also seek to harness the value of their position(s) to participate in growth or income strategies, we will either look to sell calls or call spreads against these positions to produce cash flow or leverage the position(s) to set up a diversified portfolio of equities and ETFs with the goal of growth and/or income. We also offer collaring solutions to mitigate downside in exchange for limiting upside for a predetermined segment of time.
