Options Strategy (Online)
Overview
Options trading has experienced a substantial increase in popularity, with the number of trades surging 35 percent in 2021 compared to previous years. In the United States alone, brokerages received US$2.4 billion in payment for order flow (PFOF) for options and only US$1.3 billion for equities. Despite this rapid growth, there exists a considerable gap in knowledge and understanding of the potential to use these instruments for responsible risk mitigation and profit maximization.
Designed by expert finance faculty at Columbia Business School Executive Education, the Options Strategy (Online) program gives investors and finance professionals a deep understanding of options, including how to incorporate financial instruments into an overall investment strategy.
