The foundation of this approach is a structured portfolio of 30-35 carefully selected individual U.S. small company stocks along with an allocation to a passive ETF representing the Russell 2000®Index. In investing in individual stocks, our emphasis is on fundamental quality, strong profitability, low debt levels and proven management. As a way to reduce risk and generate income, we write covered call options against the small company ETF position. While this strategy reduces upside potential in very strong markets, it brings in immediate cash and typically reduces portfolio volatility. At times, the strategy may use some of the premiums generated by option writing to finance periodic put protection to cushion the portfolio during market drawdowns.
