Equity Index Option OTC Contract

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Equity Index Option OTC Contract. An option in which the underlyer is an equity index.


Issues and Challenges

Created to capture terms specific to index options. Note however that in FpML, there are no additional and different terms for basket options, so it maybe assumed that terms such as contract multiplier, which are defined for index options, are also applicable to basket options (a basket being a locally defined collection of securities which is otherwise similar to a published index of shares). Outcome of above question: see notes from 03 Feb review. The Basket Option must have an Annex which details the basket constituents. Also we are to add Contract types here for Basket Option contract and Custom Index Option.
