The Neuberger Berman Option Strategy ETF (NBOS) has been introduced as a potential investment option that generates yield from option premiums while investing in short-term Treasuries.

Recent market volatility has been driven by unpredictable U.S. tariff policies, leading to significant fluctuations in stock values observed in early April 2025.

As panic in the markets escalates, investors have shown a flight to safety, resulting in increased demand for gold, reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The psychological impact of market crises on investors is profound, making it challenging to process information during high-stress situations.

Jeff Blazek and Erik Knutzen, co-CIOs at Neuberger Berman, emphasize the difficulty in forecasting market outcomes due to rapidly changing economic conditions.

In light of current market conditions, reverting to investment basics is recommended, focusing on individual investment goals rather than reacting impulsively to market movements.

Investors should regularly rebalance their portfolios to align with their objectives, especially during periods of sharp price fluctuations.

A multi-asset investment approach can enhance diversification, suggesting a mix of different styles and durations in stocks and bonds.

Including noncorrelated asset classes can provide additional diversification and optionality during market crises, with options-based strategies being particularly beneficial.

NBOS aims to protect against equity risk while providing income and diversification, featuring a net expense ratio of 0.56%.
