Currently, the options market on well-known U.S. indices shows an interesting volatility structure for short maturities: The implied volatility for puts with deep strikes (well below the current price level) is currently very high in historical comparison to the implied volatility of options with higher strikes (in the range of the current price level). The so-called skew, the premium in volatility of the low strikes, is high. For example, at 3 months to 6 months maturity, the implied volatility at an 80% strike is about 8-10 points higher than that at a 95% strike.
Put spread warrants offer the possibility to profit from this market situation by allowing to acquire portfolio hedges at attractive conditions. They consist of a long put position with a high strike (e.g. 95% or 90%) and a short put position with a lower strike (e.g. 80%) - in the current market situation, investors therefore receive an exceptionally good premium for the put with a low strike and can thus largely refinance the premium of the put position with a higher strike.
