Over the past several years, literally hundreds of index-related products have been introduced to the marketplace, most designed to provide investors with the capability to mix and match different funds in order to build custom portfolios. At the same time, leveraged investment products for the retail investor--which use borrowed capital to increase the returns within the structure of a passive investment strategy--are also one of the fastest growing products in the financial world. In \u003ci\u003eEnhanced Indexing Strategies, \u003c\/i\u003e Tristan Yates shows how to successfully combine these products using \u003ci\u003eleveraged indexing\u003c\/i\u003e to deliver better risk-adjusted returns than conventional approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe idea behind leveraged investing is simple: if long-term investment returns are predictable, then even higher returns can be generated by borrowing and investing the capital over the long term in an index. Using derivatives such as futures and options, Yates reveals it is possible to not only borrow money to invest at a low rate, but also to implement hedging strategies that help reduce the risk of catastrophic losses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike other books on options trading that tell how to profit from short-term market movements, \u003ci\u003eEnhanced Indexing Strategies\u003c\/i\u003e uses options positions to capture long-term pricing trends. Using long calls and call spreads, hedging strategies, and LEAP call options--which have been hailed as an industry innovation due to their ability to maintain leverage while managing risk--Yates shows how to implement specific long-term strategies that can capture appreciation in volatile conditions across many years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to providing six different innovative long-term indexing strategies using futures and options, Yates also offers important advice on managing a leveraged investing portfolio. He covers each critical aspect of portfolio management: selecting indexes and strategies and determining the level of exposure, calculating the expected returns and the possible range of returns, and monitoring the portfolio to ensure that it is performing in accordance to projections. Yates's final piece of advice to investors is simple: get started. Every day you're not invested in an index is a missed opportunity for profits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubcribe to our free Finance and Investing eNewsletter at wiley.com\/enewsletters\u003cbr\u003e Visit wileyfinance.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45156399939735,"sku":"9780470259252","price":4157.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780470259252.webp?v=1767301721","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/enhanced-indexing-strategies-utilizing-futures-and-options-to-achieve-higher-performance-9780470259252","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
