How Does a Covered Call Differ from a Protective Put Strategy?

A covered call is an income-generating strategy that caps potential upside gain. A protective put is an insurance strategy where an investor buys a put option on an asset they already own.

The protective put is used to limit potential downside loss while retaining full upside potential, essentially acting as portfolio insurance.
