Gargoyle’s Custom Offering To Trillium Asset Management


Custom Hedge:
Equity indexes will be blended to create an optimal hedge for Trillium’s stock holdings.




Tax Implications
It is expected that a substantial portion of income derived from options premium will be
taxed at the following rates: 60% long term, 40% short term (under Section 1256 of the
IRS tax code) Managed Accounts:
A separate omnibus account can be created to handle all options overlay trading and
from which dollars of P&L can be exported to individual managed accounts if needed

Options Overlay relevant benchmark – the CBOE’s BXM

The Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) together with Ibbotson
Associates financial research firm created the BXM index based on the S&P500.
     The BXM js a buy – write version of the S&P500 index using a passive ‘writing’ strategy

     Every month, a near term call options based on the S&P500 (the SPX) is sold and returns
    are calculated including that P&L



    Differences between Gargoyle and BXM
     Gargoyle’s method is customized and actively managed

     The BXM is not customized and is passive; the call is sold and the position is ignored until
    option expiration the following month

     Gargoyle yield’s 90% more than BXM on the options overlay component
