Core Viewpoint - The article explains the concept of a specific financial product known as "automatic knock-in and knock-out options," which is often misrepresented as a stable income product. It highlights the inherent risks and complexities associated with this type of investment [4][50]. Group 1 - The product is referred to as "Z," which is essentially a type of put option linked to stock indices like the CSI 500 and CSI 1000. The buyer (referred to as Gu Chen) has limited risk but unlimited potential profit, while the seller (referred to as Lao Wang) faces unlimited risk with limited profit potential [29][50]. - The structure of the product allows for two key events: "knock-out" and "knock-in."
