Portfolio Volatility Harvesting refers to a sophisticated trading strategy that seeks to profit from the inherent fluctuations in crypto asset prices by systematically selling options or other volatility-linked derivatives. The objective is to capture premium from the difference between implied and realized volatility across a diversified asset base.
Mechanism
This strategy typically involves writing out-of-the-money options, both calls and puts, across various crypto assets with differing expiration dates. The mechanism relies on the statistical tendency for implied volatility, which is priced into options, to exceed subsequent realized volatility, allowing the option seller to retain the premium as profit.
Methodology
The strategic implementation necessitates advanced quantitative analysis for risk modeling, precise hedging of delta exposure, and dynamic adjustment of positions based on changes in market sentiment and volatility surfaces. This methodology aims to generate consistent income streams by monetizing portfolio convexity while maintaining a carefully managed exposure to large directional moves, a practice relevant for institutional crypto options desks.
