A form of hedge using options.


Collar hedges are more complex structures, compared with a simpler cap option or floor option. 
Unobservable valuation inputs are valuation inputs:


An advantage of collars is that they can reduce the net premium paid for the hedge.  They do this by adding a short option position to the simple cap or floor. In other words by the corporate hedger ''selling'' an option (in addition to ''buying'' the simple cap or floor option).
#For which market data are not available and
#That are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.


The premium received by the corporate reduces their net premium payable.  The net premium payable is often zero. (This arrangement is called a ''zero cost'' collar.)


It is also possible - though less common - to construct a ''negative cost'' collar, the net premium being ''receivable'' by the corporate.
