Long Term Equity Option
Definition
Long Term Equity Option. An option whose contract expires at a date longer than one year. Also known as long-term equity anticipation securities (LEAPS). From Investopedia: These options are called long-term equity anticipation securities (LEAPS). By providing opportunities to control and manage risk or even to speculate, LEAPS are virtually identical to regular options. LEAPS, however, provide these opportunities for much longer periods of time. Although they are not available on all stocks, LEAPS are available on most widely held issues.
