Notable Quotes 2
Writers of cash-settled index call options cannot provide in advance for their potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying interest.
Even if the writer of a cash-settled index call option could assemble a securities portfolio that exactly reproduced the composition of the underlying index, the writer still would not be fully covered from a risk standpoint because of the 'timing risk' inherent in writing cash-settled options.
