Equity Option Underlying

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Equity Option Underlying. The equity security that must be delivered when the option contract is exercised.


Issues and Challenges

From SME Review 16 Dec 2009: Equity Option uses consolidated market data feed for the price of the underlying. so this is specified by for instance the national market system that consolidates the market information, so everyone is looking at the same Last Trade information. See Equity diagram where we have "Composite" market consisting of a number of markets. The Equity is normally not traded on the options exchange. But they will still attach to a market even if it's not their own. Further research: national market systems (US, what about the rest?)
