INDIANAPOLIS, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- David S. Gilreath, CFP,® Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Innovative Portfolios, presented at the Financial Planning Association® (FPA®) Kentuckiana chapter meeting May 23, 2019. Gilreath's topic, Using Options for Financial Planning Solutions, discussed how to address common investment planning issues through the use of options income and protection strategies.

Innovative Portfolios sponsors FPA chapters nationwide to help educate and support financial planners and investment advisors—to provide their clients with potential for alternate sources of income. This CE presentation reviewed the application of equity option strategies addressing investment planning issues—"at-risk" portfolios needing rebalanced asset allocation, idle portfolios with low cost basis stocks, and portfolios with a concentrated position.

Gilreath emphasized the difference between risk and volatility, and the relationship of historic and implied volatility. He then illustrated examples utilizing option overlays through:

a covered call strategy to rebalance a portfolio and generate income from the option premium
a vertical put spread strategy in an idle portfolio to receive option premium income
a collar option as a protective strategy within a long stock position

To ensure understanding of the potential for each approach, benefits and risks of the strategies were outlined.

Gilreath, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer for Innovative Portfolios, is a 36-plus year veteran in the financial industry. As a founding principal, David Gilreath shares responsibility for setting investment policy for the company. He contributes investment perspectives to Investopedia.com, CNBC.com, WealthManagement.com, and Physicians Money Digest.
