Options

Key Features

  • Trade the way you want - online, mobile or with broker's assistance
  • Access to specialist options advisers.
  • Insure against a fall in price of a particular stock
  • Generate income by selling or writing options against your existing holding of stocks

Options give you the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying asset. It offers you the potential to profit from share price movements (both rises and falls) without necessarily holding the underlying shares. They can be divided into a call (when you buy the underlying) or put (when you sell the underlying) options.

Buying an option can be regarded as equivalent to taking out insurance - you pay out a premium in advance and if a specified event occurs then that's the time you get paid.

  • They can be bought or sold online via Ari-Trade or directly through a dealer
  • They give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying share at a specific price on or before a specific date
  • Can be traded for a small premium, which gives you the right in case of call/put option (obligation in case of writing of any option) to purchase/ sell a pre-determined number of shares at a pre-determined price
  • Allow you to generate income by short-selling or writing options against your existing shares
  • Are very good hedging instruments

  • Investors willing to take higher risk, looking for greater potential returns over shorter terms
  • Investors who have strong views on the market and its future movements and want to take advantage of the same
  • Investors who want to insure their current share holdings against potential losses
  • Investors who want to generate income from their existing shares
