Multiple calls written per equity position, varying by strike and expiration.
Actively managed and diversied.
Typically writing 3-5% out-of-the-money
Allows upside participation while achieving reasonable option premium
Ability to tilt slightly more defensive/aggressive
Typically 80% covered with the exibility to move higher for greater
protection or lower for greater participation
Write closer-to-the-money for greater protection or further out-of-the-money
for greater participation
Typically writing 60-90 day expiration

Short enough to benet from option time value erosion
UNDERLYING EQUITY PORTFOLIO

exposure

Strong balance sheets
Sustainable competitive advantage
Rising Return on Invested Capital
Strong free cash ow generation
Reasonable valuation
Positive technical trends
INCOME GENERATION
A high quality biased equity portfolio
delivering an alternative income source via

approach of buying individual companies

companies for the purpose of paying a
quarterly distribution to shareholders.
PARTICIPATION IN STRONG
MARKETS
Individual stock options, rather than
index options, can oer higher premiums.
Typically, we write out-of-the-money
calls which allow the potential for limited
upside participation if the underlying
stock price advances.
DOWNSIDE PROTECTION
Hedged equity; ability for defensive
positioning in weak markets by writing
at-the-money or in-the-money calls.
WHY MADISON COVERED CALL?
Madison has been a pioneer in covered call management since 2004. Madisons strategy of active stock and option management
dierentiates its portfolios from the more common passive strategies, and provides an opportunity to manage risk while
exploiting the higher premiums available for individual stocks. e lead portfolio manager, Ray DiBernardo, CFA, has been
working on the strategy since its inception, and the Equity Income team together brings over 60 years of collective investment
experience to its clients.
