An option contract stipulates that one party (the holder or buyer) has the right (but not the obligation) to exercise the contract (the option) on or before a future date (the exercise date or expiration) and the other party (the writer or seller) has the obligation to honor the specified feature of the contract.
Since the option gives the buyer a right and the seller an obligation, the buyer has received something of value. So the buyer pays the seller for the option the option premium. Because this is a contract whose value is determined by an underlying security, it is classified as a derivative. Put options give the holder the right to sell the asset. Call options give the holder the right to purchase the asset. |
