Positive Returns – Even in Bear Markets!

Odyssey is always looking for ways to generate additional returns for our clients. As part of this goal, some 5 years ago we developed the Enhanced Income Overlay, which allows us to generate additional passive income from 0.25% to 1.5% per month for our clients, irrespective of market conditions, while taking on minimal risk. Since then, our clients have enjoyed consistent returns with additional income being generated from the Enhanced Income Overlay.

To help further support the Enhanced Income Overlay solution, Odyssey bolstered the Asset Management team by hiring seasoned market veteran, Max Martirani who has 15 year track record of delivering positive performance, even during the global financial crisis. Max’s CV is impressive, he has worked for some of the most well known banks and hedge funds. It is his experience that has allowed us further develop the Enhanced Income Overlay to generate positive performance for our clients’ portfolios in both bull and bear markets.

The overlay can be added to:

• An existing investment portfolio.
• A new portfolio.
• As a standalone trading vehicle.

The Enhanced Income Overlay aims to generate between 0.5% and 1.5% in income per month, this is generated by selling listed option contracts. This return is in excess of any gains and income generated or received from the underlying portfolio’s assets. We employ rigorous risk management tools and are focused on placing only defined risk option strategies to ensure that we conservatively manage the portfolios risk exposure at all times.

Available Overlay Choices

The following is a summary of the different overlay’s that we offer:

Past Performance

The following is the performance for our Enhanced Income Overlay and our inhouse Horizon Discretionary Portfolios:

*These portfolios employ the Enhanced Income Plus options overlay. 

Our portfolios have a consistent track record and have even been back tested and stress tested and have shown to produce satisfactory returns.

The option overlay will increase the portfolios returns during a bull market, but the option overlay provides real alpha to the portfolios returns as these will be enhanced during sideways and bear markets as the income generated from the option overlay provides additional yield for the portfolio.
