Stock Options

Stock options or equity options are the most common type of equity derivative. These option contracts give you the right but not the obligation to either buy or sell a stock at an agreed price at a date in the future.

They allow you to trade with leverage many of the world’s largest companies without owning the underlying shares.

Whether you use them to generate income, protect your portfolio or express your market view, stock options are an essential investor’s tool.

Important information: Derivative products are considerably higher risk and more complex than more conventional investments, come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage and are not, therefore, suitable for everyone. Our website offers information about trading in derivative products, but not personal advice. If you’re not sure whether trading in derivative products is right for you, you should contact an independent financial adviser. For more information, please read our Important Derivative Product Trading Notes.
