The HSI option contract is also a leveraged investment tool, which can manipulate assets ten times larger than the principal with a small amount of money. For example, the Hang Seng Index is 15000 points. Suppose investors are optimistic about the market outlook and buy a Hang Seng Index call option with an exercise price of 65,438+05,000 points, with an option premium of 200 points. Calculated by 50 yuan per point, the 200-point option premium is equal to 6,543,800 yuan. A Hang Seng Index option contract, calculated at 15000 points, is equal to 750,000 yuan. In other words, the principal of 654.38 million yuan can control assets 75 times larger. If the Hang Seng Index rises to 16000 points in the afternoon, after deducting the principal of 200 points, investors can earn 800 points, about 40,000 yuan. If the Hang Seng Index falls below 15000 points, investors will only lose 200 points at most, that is, 10000 yuan.
