Monthly Premium Income
The chart below shows the gross amount of yield as a percentage of the underlying values held for the BXR, BXM and BXY Indices.
The BXR Index had the highest yield because the Russell 2000 Index was more volatile than the S&P 500 Index, and the BXR and BXM indices that wrote at-the-money index options generated more gross premium than the BXY Index that wrote out-of-the-money S&P 500 options.
