Option Risk. When an asset contains an option component, its value can be affected by changes in specific factors, including: - Volatility: A measure of the variability of the price of the underlying asset of the option. - Time Value: The value of the option, excluding its intrinsic value, which incorporates the cost of carry and the probability of exercise. - Intrinsic Value: The amount by which an option is in the money, relative to the forward price inferred by the market at the revaluation time. - Risk-Free Interest Rate: The interest rate of a risk-free investment. For exotic options, the risk can arise from the characteristics of the underlying asset as well as conditions related to its evolution, such as corridors, average options, barrier options, and others.
