Equities

Specialty Equities

The Seaport options team combines sharp market perception and a keen understanding of each client’s fundamental viewpoint to structure option trades that seek superior risk-adjusted returns.

We bring expertise to analytics and strategy – evaluating volatility, price targets, event timing and conviction levels; identifying potential catalysts; and actively analyzing option positions. Monitoring real time exposure, greeks and P&L positions enables us to develop strategies for clients that reshape the traditional linear P&L curve.

We focus on the market, finding opportunistic trades and proactively recommending hedges, volatility trades, repair strategies and overwriting programs linked to our assessment of news, earnings and other triggers.

By vigilantly monitoring exposure levels and underlying equity or volatility changes, we can recommend adjustments that ensure our strategies stay true to our client’s risk/reward profile.
