| A '''Low Exercise Price Option''' ('''LEPO''') is an [[Australian Stock Exchange]] traded [[option (finance)|option]] with a low [[exercise price]] that was specifically designed to be traded on [[Margin (finance)|margin]]. It is a [[Option_style|Europe]]an style [[call option]] with a low [[exercise price]] of $0.01 and a [[contract]] size of 1000 [[share (finance)|share]]s to be delivered on exercise.

| The premium is close to the whole [[share price]], and a trader only posts margin, not the full price. Both the buyer and the seller are margined, all positions are marked-to-market daily. LEPOs work like a [[futures contract]].

| Several important differences distinguish LEPOs from standard exchange-traded options, and these differences have important implications for the [[pricing]] of LEPO.

| * The buyer of a LEPO does not pay the full amount of the premium [[upfront]].
| |
| * Both buyer and seller of LEPOs involve ongoing margin payments.
| |
| * The buyer of a LEPO does not receive [[dividend]]s or obtain [[voting right]]s on the underlying shares until the shares are transferred after exercise.
| |
| * LEPOs are only available as call options.
| |
| * LEPOs have a very low exercise price and a high premium close to the initial value of the underlying shares.
| |
| * LEPOs have only one exercise price per expiry month.
| |
| | |
| LEPOs may be over either shares or an [[index (economics)|index]].
| |
| | |
| ==Pricing of Low Exercise Price Options==
| |
| The current value of a contract is equal to the current price of the underlying share compounded by the [[risk-free interest rate]], less the accumulated value of any dividends, less the exercise price of $0.01.
| |
| | |
| :<math>L _ {0, 1} = S _ 0 e ^ {r (n/365)} - D e ^ {r(n-y)/365} - X</math>
| |
| | |
| where:
| |
| *<math>L _ {0, 1}</math> = price of LEPO contract entered into at time 0 for delivery at time 1;
| |
| *<math>S _ 0</math> = price of underlying share at time 0;
| |
| *''r'' = risk-free rate of return;
| |
| *''n'' = number of days until contract maturity;
| |
| *''D'' = value of share dividends;
| |
| *''y'' = number of days until dividend is paid.
| |
| *''X'' = exercise price (equals $0.01);
| |
| | |
| To prove that above formula is correct, we'll calculate price using Black–Scholes formula. The Black–Scholes formula after modifications to recognize that the premium is paid at the expiry of the contract:
| |
| | |
| :<math>L_{0, 1} = [S _ 0 N(d _ 1) - X e ^ {-rn/365}N(d _ 2)] e ^{rn/365} </math>
| |
| | |
| where:
| |
| | |
| ''N''(''d'') is cumulative probability distribution function for a standard [[normal distribution]].
| |
| | |
| :<math>d _ 1 = \dfrac {\ln(S _ 0/X) + (r + {\sigma ^ 2} / 2)(n/365) } { \sigma \sqrt { n/365 } }</math>
| |
| :<math>d _ 2 = d _ 1 - \sigma \sqrt { n/365 }</math> | |
| | |
| For a LEPO an underlying price <math>S_0</math> is very big compare to exercise price ''X''. Because of that <math>N(d_1)</math> is very close to 1, with insignificant difference. Thus LEPO price per Black–Scholes formula (without dividend) is
| |
| | |
| :<math>L_{0, 1} = S_0 e^{rn/365} - X</math>
| |
| | |
| and it matches our previous formula.
