Program Description:
1. Buckingham's Weekly E-mini Program (SEP) is a commodity option strategy employing an absolute return investment approach. The Strategy primarily writes (sells) a series of out of money (OTM) call and put options on S&P 500 E-mini futures.
2. SEP focuses on short duration derivatives - the option expires within 30 days, because the time decay is the greatest in those final days. It does this primarily by identifying the option strikes with best risk/reward ratio according to our proprietary Quant model.
3. SEP adopts the risk management mechanism both in position and portfolio level (same as WEP, hedging based on daily P/L).
4. SEP aims for Sharpe Ratio +2.5 long term (5+ years) considering tail risk due to the economic cycles.
