More insights for the existing entrepreneurEvery investor's situation is unique and you should consider your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizon before making any investment. This information is not a complete summary or statement of all available data necessary for making an investment decision and does not constitute a recommendation. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or loss regardless of strategy selected, including diversification and asset allocation. Be sure to contact a qualified professional regarding your situation before making any investment or withdrawal decision. Raymond James and its advisors do not offer tax or legal advice. You should discuss any tax or legal matters with the appropriate professional.
Selling a call option provides an upfront premium that increases current yield on the stock position. Investors receive immediate liquidity and are hedged to the extent of the premium received, but at a significant downside price risk, and forfeit upside appreciation above the call strike. Options involve unique risks, tax consequences and commission charges and are not suitable for all investors. When appropriate, options should comprise a modest portion of an investor's portfolio. Prior to making any options transactions, investors must receive a copy of the Options Disclosure Document which may be obtained from your financial advisor, from theocc.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp or by contacting Raymond James at 880 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, FL 33716. Supporting documentation for any claims (including any claims made on behalf of options programs or the options expertise of sales persons), comparison, recommendations, statistics, or other technical data, will be supplied upon request.
