OIC 2022 Educational Series: Reviewing Volatility and Exploring Index Options

The Options Industry Council (OIC)SM is excited to present three brand new, live webinars in the third quarter of 2022, with the first two sessions focused on volatility strategies and the last centered around helping investors understand index options.

OIC begins the quarter with the July webinar, titled Understanding Volatility and Options. In August, the volatility theme continues, this time with an event called Using Implied Volatility to Implement Strategies. Finally, the quarter concludes in September with The Unique Characteristics of Index Options, featuring a review of how these products differ from equity and ETF options.

Leading each webinar will be our experienced instructors, all of whom worked as options industry professionals prior to joining the Investor Education team at OCC. Importantly, OIC webinars will provide a balanced approach to learning about options, with one of the key goals being to ensure attendees understand both the benefits and possible risks of trading these assets.

All OIC webinars are free to join, and registration is easy. Simply visit the Events section of OptionsEducation.org to sign up for a specific presentation and to gain access to our on-demand webinar library. In addition to attending live events, registrants can create a free OIC account to access our eLearning platform with courses covering such topics as options basics, options pricing, the Greeks and much more.
