Since the total return (price appreciation + dividends) on the SPX has been positive over the period studied (Dec-02 to Sep-13), the options strategies' studied have underperformed the SPX (see Figure 10).
However, after adjusting returns by the level of realized volatility (return/realized volatility) for the entire period, the option strategies had better performance when compared with equity .
The lower portfolio volatility of the call strategies is a key attraction for investors who are seeking equity returns but are put off by the typically high volatility of equity portfolios.
