Hedging and Income Strategies

While market makers provide liquidity to options markets, institutions are the primary influencers of option volatility and option pricing. Many institutions need to be fully invested, so they use options to hedge their portfolios in case of market crashes and to generate extra income. Tail-risk hedging, which involves using options to protect against market drops of over 30%, is a common strategy. These strategies can also be used by individual investors.
