Our Offerings
We are proud to offer sophisticated, options-based strategies that are designed to help manage downside exposure, enhance income, and create a more predictable investment experience through all types of market environments.
The Mulberry Buffered Strategy
Our Buffered Position Strategy is designed to pursue attractive returns while reducing downside exposure. Beyond simply seeking growth, the structure of the strategy is intended to provide more favorable outcomes even in the event of market declines.
This is accomplished by combining a core investment in a chosen underlying asset—whether it be a broad equity index, an exchange-traded fund, or another security—with carefully constructed option positions. The options are used tactically to create a buffer against losses, while also setting defined participation on the upside.
By employing this framework, the strategy aims to provide investors with a clearer picture of potential outcomes. It is flexible in nature and can be adapted to a wide range of underliers, not limited to any single index or fund. This adaptability allows us to structure the investment in a way that balances risk and return expectations according to the needs of the client and prevailing market conditions.
Buffered Strategy Outcome Scenarios
(Examples assume SPY as the underlying with a 10% downside buffer and a 10% upside cap)
Market Outcome at Expiration
Underlying finishes unchanged to moderately lower (within the protected buffer range)
Position Result
Position generates a positive return based on the difference between the buffer and the market decline
Example Using SPY
(10% Buffer / 10% Cap)
If SPY ends 6% lower, the position would return approximately +4% (10% buffer – 6% decline)
Market Outcome at Expiration
Underlying finishes lower beyond the buffer
Position Result
Position begins to incur losses equal to the decline beyond the buffer
Example Using SPY
(10% Buffer / 10% Cap)
If SPY ends 14% lower, the position would be approximately –4% (14% decline – 10% buffer)
Market Outcome at Expiration
Underlying finishes higher within the cap range
Position Result
Position achieves the maximum capped return
Example Using SPY
(10% Buffer / 10% Cap)
If SPY ends 4% higher, the position would return approximately +10% (reaches the cap)
Market Outcome at Expiration
Underlying finishes well above the cap
Position Result
Returns remain limited to the predetermined cap
Example Using SPY
(10% Buffer / 10% Cap)
If SPY ends 14% higher, the position would still return approximately +10% (excess gains not captured)
The Mulberry Monthly Strategy
At Mulberry Capital, we use options thoughtfully to pursue monthly income while providing disciplined exposure to equities. By creating option positions, we generate premium income, and at the same time, we are able to take advantage of favorable entry points when underlying securities decline.
Our focus is on liquid, exchange-traded options—most often in widely traded ETFs such as those tracking the S&P 500. Transparency is central to our approach: each investor account is managed separately, with positions fully disclosed and viewable at any time. This level of clarity and customization sets us apart from many other option-based strategies.
Because markets are dynamic, our process is designed to adapt. We systematically review and adjust positions—rolling covered options to new strike prices and maturities as conditions warrant. While adjustments are generally made on a monthly cycle, we remain nimble, ready to close or reestablish positions earlier if needed.
Hedging Concentrated Stock Positions
Many of our clients hold significant positions in a single stock—whether from company stock compensation, long-term investing, or family legacy holdings. While these concentrated positions can create meaningful wealth, they also introduce outsized risk.
Mulberry Capital helps clients design customized hedging profiles that protect downside risk while maintaining upside participation. Beyond simply reducing risk, our strategies are also structured to seek incremental returns on concentrated holdings. By employing carefully constructed option overlays and other advanced techniques, we aim to turn what is often a static position into one that not only manages risk but also works harder to generate additional value over time.
Through this approach, clients gain the confidence of knowing their concentrated wealth is better protected, while also having the opportunity to capture enhanced returns. The result is a disciplined, transparent strategy that balances preservation with growth potential.
Our disciplined and flexible strategies allow our clients to:
Helps offset market risk
Provides opportunities to enter equities at more attractive levels
Generates consistent income
