Equities

Buy Equity Options*

You buy options for hedging and leveraging exposure.

There are 2 types of options:

  1. A “Put” option gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to sell the underlying stock at a predetermined price.
  2. A “Call” option gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy the underlying stock at a predetermined price.

In both cases, the buyer of the option pays a premium to the seller of the option. Options are not suitable for all investors, as they carry significant risks. Only recommended for experienced investors.

Benefits

  • For hedging purposes to minimise risk
  • To leverage exposure to rising or falling stock prices to potentially enhance capital gains
