Callan Study

In 2006 Callan Associates published a study of the CBOE S&P 500 Buy Write Index, the BXM.

Based on their study, they concluded that the buy write strategy generated slightly superior returns with two thirds the volatility of the S&P 500. While the strategy underperforms in sharply rising markets, it tends to outperform in down or flat markets.
