Core Viewpoint - Understanding the differences between ETF options and futures is crucial for investors, especially those new to financial markets, as it impacts their trading strategies and risk management. Group 1: Definitions - ETF options are "rights contracts" where the buyer pays a premium to gain the right to buy or sell the underlying ETF at a specified price on a specific date, while the seller has the obligation to fulfill the contract if the buyer exercises the option [2] - Futures are "obligation contracts" where both parties agree to exchange the underlying asset at a predetermined price on a specified future date, with both parties having a binding obligation to execute the contract [2] Group 2: Rights and Obligations - In options trading, the buyer has the right but not the obligation to exercise the option, while the seller must fulfill their obligation if the option is exercised. In futures trading, both parties are obligated to execute the contract [3] Group 3: Margin Requirements - Option buyers typically do not need to post margin (only pay the premium), while sellers must post margin. In futures, both parties are required to post margin [5] Group 4: Risk and Reward - The maximum risk for option buyers is limited to the premium paid, while their potential reward can be significant. Option sellers have limited profit potential (the premium received) but face potentially unlimited risk. In futures, both parties can face unlimited risk and reward [5] Group 5: Expiration Differences - ETF options can be classified as European or American. Most ETF options in the domestic market are European, allowing exercise only on the expiration date, while American options can be exercised at any time before expiration [7] Group 6: Settlement Methods - Upon expiration, most financial futures settle in cash rather than physical delivery, with the final settlement based on the underlying asset's price at expiration [8]
