Overview
The option provides the buyer with the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a given amount of underlying object at a specified rate (the exercise price) during a specified period. The buyer needs to pay a premium to the seller, and the seller is obliged to exercise the option.
The Credit Option Trading gives the buyer the right to buy a given amount of particular credit targets from the seller at the agreed price during the specified period. This product is suitable for customers exposed to particular credit risks. The term of trading is within five years and the minimum amount of a single transaction is USD3 million or the equivalent.
Features
Options are one of the most active financial derivatives in the international capital market due to its high flexibility and customizability. Compared with standard derivatives, such as futures, options are far more flexible and enable customers to determine the amount, term, expiration date and exercise price of the options based on their needs. By paying a premium, the option buyer hedges against risks in the cost or returns of future exposures without commitment for transaction. The seller receives the premium to reduce costs, but it is also possible that the premium received may not cover the loss caused by exercise of the option.
