1. What Is the Compound Option Market?
The Compound Option Market comprises derivative contracts that give the holder the right to buy or sell another option, rather than a direct underlying asset. A company bidding on a foreign project might buy an option on a currency option. This lets it pay a small premium now for the right to decide later whether it needs currency hedging at all. The market includes call-on-call, call-on-put, and put-on-call compound option structures. It covers institutional contingent-exposure hedging applications, such as project bids with uncertain outcomes. Investment banks and corporate treasurers are primary participants. The scope excludes barrier, binary, and Asian option markets structured around different payoff mechanisms.
