Complex Collars

Meaning

Complex Collars represent advanced options strategies structured to limit both upside profit potential and downside loss exposure on an underlying crypto asset, but with additional, non-standard components beyond a simple long stock, long put, and short call. Their purpose in crypto institutional options trading is to achieve specific risk-reward profiles tailored to unique market outlooks or hedging requirements, offering more granular control over portfolio volatility and directional bias. These structures often involve multiple strikes, varying expiries, or different option types.
