Our Technology
Our Own Version of Rocket Science
Our mathematically driven, proprietary technology platform, the Rampart Options Management System (ROMS®), continually evaluates the relative attractiveness of thousands of U.S. and international equity options.
ROMS represents the evolution of a concept more than a quarter of a century in development. Harnessing the technological and analytical capabilities of ROMS, Rampart scientifically captures and monetizes volatility on individual stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), providing incremental return from options premiums - all while dampening risk.
ROMS assists the client and portfolio manager in setting "Target Prices" or upside price points on individual stocks providing for customized risk/reward profiles. Each day, ROMS sorts through thousands of available options and selects the appropriate strike price, expiration date, and quantity of contracts that offers the optimal premium given the parameters of the programs. ROMS continually evaluates more than 300,000 listed options and is capable of managing positions on over 3,000 listed, optionable U.S., non-U.S., and index-based securities.
