WEEKLY OPTIONS ON SWEDISH SHARES
THE BENEFITS OF LEVERAGE WITHOUT OVERPAYING FOR TIME VALUE
With weekly options investors can better express their view on individual shares in the short
term. The weekly options feature the same contract specification and characteristics as the
standardized stock options, but with a shorter time to maturity and expiration every week.
If you have a short-term view on a specific share (will the share price go up, down or stay unchanged in the short
term), you will be able to invest in weekly option based on your view. You can choose the best matching exercise price
according to your prediction. This provides you with a reactive instrument where you will skip paying too much for the
time value of the option because of its shorter time to expiration.
Weekly options (puts and calls) are available on the most traded Swedish shares. The expiration day of weekly options is
the first, second, fourth and fifth Friday each month, with a term of up to four weeks.
