CALL and PUT Options are advanced hedging instruments
used to hedge your imports and exports.
- CALL Option gives the right to buy
the asset at a given price for a specified date
and time.
- PUT Option gives the right to sell
the asset at a given price for a specified date
and time.
These options have associated costs as they provide
unlimited upside potential while protecting the
downside. These costs can be reduced by structuring
based on the clients view. Structuring involves
buying and selling options at various levels in
different multiples. The buying and selling is
done based on the client's underlying exposure,
view, risk appetite and cost sensitiveness.
Cross Currency Options with barriers such as
Knock-in/ Knock-outs and many more are available
to customers for hedging their cross currency
risks.
