Whenever I make a claim that a hedge fund or other big financial institution does something... someone smart-ass always tries to call me out.
"You're just saying that, these funds don't really use options" etc. etc.
As if no smart investors would ever use options...
Despite the fact that for the first 30 years of their existence... it was ONLY institutional investors who used them.
Besides that though...
Citadel... Point 72... Millenium Management
3 of the largest hedge funds in the world...
All publicly on record as using long-dated call options to...
Control exposure with less capital...
Boost risk-adjusted returns...
Free up cash for additional investments...
So instead of holding $50M in Apple stock... a fund might control $50M worth of Apple via LEAPS costing only $10M...
That frees up $40 million to deploy into other high-conviction trades.
The result? Higher risk-adjusted returns and better portfolio diversification.
But here's what's crazy...
Most individual investors have never even heard of this strategy.
They think options are just for day traders and gamblers.
Meanwhile... the smartest money on Wall Street is using them as sophisticated portfolio management tools.
And because you (probably) don't have $10M...
With just $10,000, you could control $30–50K worth of Tesla… Meta… or Nvidia... AND still have capital left to diversify into other LEAPs or income strategies.
This isn't about getting rich quick.
It's about using your capital more efficiently.
Just like the pros do.
The problem is most people don't know how to implement this properly.
They either avoid options entirely (missing out on the capital efficiency benefits) or they use them wrong (turning a sophisticated strategy into gambling).
Exactly how hedge funds use LEAPs for capital efficiency...
How to identify the best stocks for this strategy...
The specific strike prices and timeframes that work best...
This isn't some theoretical nonsense either... I'll be showing you actual trades on the call.
But I'm limiting attendance because I want to keep it interactive and answer your specific questions.
