What is a Collar?

Definition:

An equity Option strategy designed to limit losses in a volatile market. To construct a Collar, an investor who owns a particular share can go long on an Out-of-the-Money Put Option and sell an Out-of-the-Money Call Option. The investor therefore recoups the expenditure on the protective Put Option by selling the Call Option.

Also known as a Hedge Wrapper.
