Protecting principal and generating income
Eleanor, a recently widowed 68-year-old, inherited a $1.8 million Traditional IRA and $450,000 in taxable accounts. She is risk-averse, deeply concerned about preserving her capital, and reliant on this wealth to fund her retirement. The current market volatility keeps her awake at night, fearing a significant downturn that could jeopardize her financial security and income needs.
We utilized a Put Option Calculator to model a protective put strategy for a portion of Eleanor's portfolio. By purchasing put options on an index fund tracking the S&P 500, we can define the maximum loss Eleanor would incur during a market correction. The Put Option Calculator showed that for a premium of approximately $18,000 annually, she could protect $500,000 of her portfolio from losses exceeding 10%, providing a safety net and allowing her to sleep soundly.
We used the Put Option Calculator to analyze various strike prices and expiration dates, optimizing the strategy for Eleanor's risk tolerance and income needs. We also implemented the strategy with consideration for tax implications within her taxable accounts, minimizing capital gains taxes on option exercises.
