		Option contracts are a form of derivative instrument.
		A third form of exercise, which is occasionally used with OTC options, is Bermudan exercise.

	Option style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In finance, the style or family of an option is a general term denoting the class into which the option falls, usually defined by the dates on which the option may be exercised.
		A deep ITM currency option (FX option) where the strike currency has a lower interest rate than the currency to be received will often be exercised early because the time value sacrificed is less valuable than the expected depreciation of the received currency against the strike.
		A cross option (or composite option) is an option on some underlying in one currency with a strike denominated in another currency.

	Glossary
		Bermuda Option - A Bermudan option is an option where early exercise is restricted to certain dates during the life of the option.
		It derives its name from the fact that its exercise characteristics are somewhere between those of the American (exercisable at any time during the life of the option) and the European (exercisable only at the expiration of the option) style of options (The island of Bermuda lies between America and Europe).
		A common example of this type of option is an employee stock option where the option holder must possess the option for a certain period (the vesting period) before the option can be exercised.

	EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
		Hence employee stock options are the so-called `golden handcuffs': they incentivise the employee to remain in the employ of the company and as a group for the employees to work towards the best interests of the company (this assumes that the free-rider and other gametheoretic issues are not important).
		The only addition factors are that the option may be forfeited (because of resignation of the employee) or exercised early, which is sub-optimal from the usual option pricing point of view.
		It seems however the population of option holders can be considered homogenous in terms of their attrition (although it seems that, for example, those whose options are near vesting would be less likely to resign, all other factors being equal, than those far from vesting).

	Bermudan Options
		A Bermudan option is a call or put option which can be exercised on prespecified days during the life of the option.
		It is reasonable to say that Bermudan options are a hybrid of European options, which can only be exercised on the option expiry date, and American options, which can be exercised at any time during the option life time.
		As a consequence, under same conditions, the value of a Bermudan option is greater than (or equal to) a European option but less than (or equal to) an American option.

	Bermudan and American Style Basket Options
		Options that involve multiple factors cannot be valued with these methods, due to the exponential growth of the number of nodes or grids that are used to approximate option values.
		To value a European style option with Monte Carlo simulation paths are generated first and intrinsic option values are calculated path by path at the option’s maturity date.
		For a Bermudan option this is the exercise date table; for an American option many exercise time points will be inserted into this table.

		The payoff from lookback options depend on the maximum or minimum of the underlying achieved through the period.

		One is the case of an Asian option, shown in code 13.6.

	Glossary of Terms (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Because an American option bestows on the holder all the benefits of a European option, in addition to the ability to exercise the option early, the market value of an American option will always be greater than or equal to that of a comparable European option.
		An Asian option (also called an average option) is a cash-settled derivative instrument whose payoff is linked to the average value of the underlier on a specific set of dates during the life of the option.
		Alternatively, the option can be structured to pay the holder the difference between the strike (which is fixed as in a standard option) and the best level of spot seen during the life of the option.

		The focus of this thesis is on the risk neutral valuation of Bermudan swaptions and its application to pricing situations where observed market data used for calibration is limited.
		By exploring the properties of the solution to the optimal stopping problem that specifies the price process of these instruments, a general valuation method suited for practical computations is suggested.
		The valuation method is based on restricting the evolution of the short rate process to that of a recombining binomial tree and is able to produce fast price estimates of Bermudan swaptions based on limited input data when specifying the dynamics of the short rate process to the Ho-Lee model.

		Thus the option holder does not have to wait until maturity to execute his right to exercise the option.
		The difference between the two types is that an American option can be exercised at any time until maturity whereas a Bermudan option has specified dates at which exercise is possible.
		The American option can be seen as a limiting case of a Bermudan.
