  4. What are Hang Seng Index Options?  
    HSI Option is an option contract based on the Hang Seng Index which gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying instrument at a stipulated price on a given date. Option buyer pays a premium for that right. Option seller receives the premium but have an obligation to buy or sell the underlying instrument on assignment if the buyer exercises his right. Therefore, the buyer of an option has the right to buy (Call Option) or the right to sell (Put Option) the Hang Seng Index at the strike price on a given date (the Expiry Day). All contracts are guaranteed by HKFECC once they have been registered at the Exchange.
