Figure 14 shows that the frequency of sharp rallies in our backtest period is comparable to that from the prior -50 years. If anything, we tended to see slightly higher occurrences of big 1M rallies in our backtest period. (Figure 14.

So, call spreads tend to have lower returns in rallying markets but provide better downside protection (see Figure 9 above). However, looking at the entire backtest period between Dec-02 and Sep-13 (both up and down markets), we find that call spreads tended to have annualized returns largely in line with outright call positions. Not surprisingly, call spread strategies experienced much lower volatility and higher risk- adjusted returns (see Figure 15 to Figure 18). Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
