| In finance, the '''style ''' or '''family''' of an [[option (finance)|option]] is a general term denoting the class into which the option falls, usually defined by the dates on which the option may be [[Exercise (options)|exercised]]. The vast majority of options are either '''European''' or '''American''' (style) options. These options—as well as others where the [[Option time value#Intrinsic value|payoff]] is calculated similarly—are referred to as "[[vanilla option]]s". Options where the payoff is calculated differently are categorized as '''"[[exotic option]]s"'''. Exotic options can pose challenging problems in [[financial mathematics|valuation]] and [[hedge (finance)|hedging]].

| ==American and European options==
| |
| The key difference between American and European options relates to when the options can be exercised:
| |
| * A '''European option''' may be exercised only at the '''expiration date''' of the option, i.e. at a single pre-defined point in time.
| |
| * An '''American option''' on the other hand may be exercised at '''any''' time before the expiration date.
| |
| | |
| For both, the payoff—when it occurs—is via:
| |
| * <math>\max\{(S-K), 0\}</math>, for a [[call option]]
| |
| * <math>\max\{(K-S), 0\}</math>, for a [[put option]]
| |
| (Where K is the [[Strike price]] and S is the spot price of the underlying asset)
| |
| | |
| [[Option contract]]s traded on [[futures exchange]]s are mainly American-style, whereas those traded [[over-the-counter (finance)|over-the-counter]] are mainly European.
| |
| | |
| Nearly all stock and equity options are American options, while indexes are generally represented by European options. Commodity options can be either style.
| |
| | |
| ===Expiration date===
| |
| | |
| Traditional monthly American options expire the third Saturday of every month. They are closed for trading the Friday prior. *Expire the third Friday if the first of the month begins on a Saturday.
| |
| | |
| European options expire the Friday prior to the third Saturday of every month. Therefore they are closed for trading the Thursday prior to the third Saturday of every month.
| |
| | |
| ===Difference in value===
| |
| European options are typically valued using the [[Black–Scholes]] or [[Black model]] formula{{dubious|date=June 2013}}. This is a simple equation with a closed-form solution that has become standard in the financial community. There are no general formulae for American options, but a choice of models to approximate the price are available (for example [[Roll-Geske-Whaley]], [[Barone-Adesi and Whaley]], [[Bjerksund and Stensland]], [[binomial options model]] by Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, [[Black's approximation]] and others; there is no consensus on which is preferable).<ref>[http://www.global-derivatives.com/index.php?id=14&option=com_content&task=view Global Derivatives, About valuation of American options]</ref>
| |
| | |
| An investor holding an American-style option and seeking optimal value will only exercise it before maturity under certain circumstances. Owners who wish to realise the full value of their option will mostly prefer to sell it on, rather than exercise it immediately, sacrificing the time value.<ref>see [[exercise (options)#Exercise_Considerations|early exercise consideration]] for a discussion of when it makes sense to exercise early</ref>
| |
| | |
| Where an American and a European option are otherwise identical (having the same [[strike price]], etc.), the American option will be worth at least as much as the European (which it entails). If it is worth more, then the difference is a guide to the likelihood of early exercise. In practice, one can calculate the Black–Scholes price of a European option that is equivalent to the American option (except for the exercise dates of course). The difference between the two prices can then be used to [[calibrate]] the more complex American option model.
| |
| | |
| To account for the American's higher value there must be some situations in which it is optimal to exercise the American option before the expiration date. This can arise in several ways, such as:
| |
| | |
| * An [[in the money]] (ITM) [[call option]] on a [[stock]] is often exercised just before the stock pays a [[dividend]] that would lower its value by more than the option's remaining time value.
| |
| | |
| * A [[put option]] will usually be exercised early if the [[underlying]] asset files for bankruptcy.<ref> http://www.bus.lsu.edu/academics/finance/faculty/dchance/Essay16.pdf </ref>
| |
| | |
| * A deep ITM [[currency]] option (FX option) where the strike currency has a lower interest rate than the currency to be received will often be exercised early because the time value sacrificed is less valuable than the expected depreciation of the received currency against the strike.
| |
| | |
| * An American [[bond option]] on the [[dirty price]] of a [[Bond (finance)|bond]] (such as some [[convertible bond]]s) may be exercised immediately if ITM and a [[Coupon (bond)|coupon]] is due.
| |
| | |
| * A [[put option]] on [[gold]] will be exercised early when deep ITM, because gold tends to hold its value whereas the [[currency]] used as the strike is often expected to lose value through [[inflation]] if the holder waits until final maturity to exercise the option (they will almost certainly exercise a contract deep ITM, minimizing its time value).{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}}
| |
| | |
| == Non-vanilla exercise rights ==
| |
| | |
| There are other, more unusual exercise styles in which the payoff value remains the same as a standard option (as in the classic American and European options above) but where early exercise occurs differently:
| |
| | |
| *A '''Bermudan option''' is an option where the buyer has the right to exercise at a set (always discretely spaced) number of times. This is intermediate between a European option—which allows exercise at a single time, namely expiry—and an American option, which allows exercise at any time (the name is a pun: [[Bermuda]], a [[British overseas territory]], is somewhat American and somewhat European—in terms of both option style and physical location—but is nearer to American in terms of both). For example a typical Bermudian [[swaption]] might confer the opportunity to enter into an [[interest rate swap]]. The option holder might decide to enter into the swap at the first exercise date (and so enter into, say, a ten-year swap) or defer and have the opportunity to enter in six months time (and so enter a nine-year and six-month swap); see [[Swaption#Valuation|Swaption: Valuation]]. Most exotic interest rate options are of Bermudan style.
| |
| | |
| * A '''Canary option''' is an option whose exercise style lies somewhere between European options and Bermudian options. (The name refers to the relative geography of the [[Canary Islands]].) Typically, the holder can exercise the option at quarterly dates, but not before a set time period (typically one year) has elapsed. The ability to exercise the option ends prior to the maturity date of the product. The term was coined by Keith Kline, who at the time was an agency fixed income trader at the Bank of New York.
| |
| | |
| * A '''Verde option''' is an option whose exercise style lies somewhere between European options and Canary options. (The name refers to the relative geography of the [[Cape Verde Islands]].) The holder can exercise the option at incremental dates(typically on an annual basis, sometimes less frequently), but not before a set time period has elapsed. The ability to exercise the option ends prior to the maturity date of the product. The term was first coined by John Young, an agency fixed income trader at Hapoalim Securities in New York.
| |
| | |
| *A '''capped-style option''' is not an [[interest rate cap]] but a conventional option with a pre-defined profit cap written into the contract. A capped-style option is ''automatically exercised'' when the underlying security closes at a price making the option's [[mark to market]] match the specified amount.
| |
| | |
| *A '''compound option''' is an option on another option, and as such presents the holder with two separate exercise dates and decisions. If the first exercise date arrives and the 'inner' option's market price is below the agreed strike the first option will be exercised (European style), giving the holder a further option at final maturity.
| |
| | |
| *A '''shout option''' allows the holder effectively two exercise dates: during the life of the option they can (at any time) "shout" to the seller that they are locking-in the current price, and if this gives them a better deal than the payoff at maturity they'll use the underlying price on the shout date rather than the price at maturity to calculate their final payoff.
| |
| | |
| *A '''double option''' gives the purchaser a composite call-and-put option (an option to either buy or sell) in a single contract. This has only ever been available in commodities markets and have never been traded on exchange.
| |
| | |
| *A '''swing option''' gives the purchaser the right to exercise one and only one call or put on any one of a number of specified exercise dates (this latter aspect is Bermudian). Penalties are imposed on the buyer if the net volume purchased exceeds or falls below specified upper and lower limits. Allows the buyer to "swing" the price of the underlying asset. Primarily used in energy trading.
| |
| | |
| == "Exotic" options with standard exercise styles ==
| |
| | |
| These options can be exercised either European style or American style; they differ from the plain [[vanilla option]] only in the calculation of their payoff value:
| |
| | |
| * A '''[[cross option]]''' (or '''composite option''') is an option on some underlying asset in one [[currency]] with a strike denominated in another currency. For example a standard [[call option]] on IBM, which is denominated in [[U.S. dollar|dollars]] pays $MAX(S−K,0) (where S is the stock price at maturity and K is the strike). A composite stock option might pay JPYMAX(S/Q−K,0), where Q is the prevailing FX rate. The pricing of such options naturally needs to take into account FX volatility and the [[correlation]] between the [[exchange rate]] of the two currencies involved and the underlying stock price.
| |
| | |
| * A '''[[quanto]] option''' is a cross option in which the exchange rate is fixed at the outset of the trade, typically at 1. The payoff of an IBM quanto call option would then be JPYmax(S−K,0).
| |
| | |
| * An '''exchange option''' is the right to exchange one asset for another (such as a sugar future for a corporate [[Bond (finance)|bond]]).
| |
| | |
| * A '''[[basket option]]''' is an option on the weighted average of several underlyings
| |
| | |
| * A '''[[rainbow option]]''' is a basket option where the weightings depend on the final performances of the components. A common special case is an option on the worst-performing of several stocks.
| |
| | |
| * A '''[[Low Exercise Price Option]]''' (LEPO) is a European style call option with a low exercise price of $0.01.
| |
| | |
| * A '''[[Boston option]]''' is an American option but with premium deferred until the option expiration date.
| |
| | |
| == Non-vanilla path dependent "exotic" options ==
| |
| | |
| The following "[[exotic option]]s" are still options, but have payoffs calculated quite differently from those above. Although these instruments are far more unusual they can also vary in exercise style (at least theoretically) between European and American:
| |
| | |
| *A '''lookback option''' is a [[Path dependence|path dependent]] option where the option owner has the right to buy (sell) the underlying instrument at its lowest (highest) price over some preceding period.
| |
| | |
| *An '''[[Asian option]]''' (or '''average option''') is an option where the payoff is not determined by the underlying price at maturity but by the average underlying price over some pre-set period of time. For example an Asian call option might pay MAX(DAILY_AVERAGE_OVER_LAST_THREE_MONTHS(S) − K, 0).<ref name=Rogers1995>{{citation

| |
| *A '''Russian option''' is a lookback option that runs for perpetuity. That is, there is no end to the period into which the owner can look back.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| *The payoff of a '''standard Parisian option''' is dependent on the maximum amount of time the underlying asset value has spent ''consecutively'' above or below a strike price.
| |
| | |
| *A '''barrier option''' involves a mechanism where if a 'limit price' is crossed by the underlying, the option either can be exercised or can no longer be exercised.
| |
| | |
| *A '''double barrier option''' involves a mechanism where if either of two 'limit prices' is crossed by the underlying, the option either can be exercised or can no longer be exercised.
| |
| | |
| *A '''cumulative Parisian barrier option''' involves a mechanism where if the total amount of time the underlying asset value has spent above or below a 'limit price', the option can be exercised or can no longer be exercised.
| |
| | |
| *A '''standard Parisian barrier option''' involves a mechanism where if the maximum amount of time the underlying asset value has spent consecutively above or below a 'limit price', the option can be exercised or can no longer be exercised.
| |
| | |
| *A '''reoption''' occurs when a contract has expired without having been exercised. The owner of the underlying security may then reoption the security.
| |
| | |
| *A '''[[binary option]]''' (also known as a digital option) pays a fixed amount, or nothing at all, depending on the price of the underlying instrument at maturity.
| |
| | |
| *A '''[[chooser option]]''' gives the purchaser a fixed period of time to decide whether the derivative will be a vanilla call or put.
| |
| | |
| *A [[forward start option]] is an option whose strike price is determined in the future
| |
| | |
| *A '''[[cliquet option]]''' is a sequence of forward start options
