Barrier option

In investment, a barrier option is an exotic option on an underlying asset whose existence depends upon the underlying asset's price reaching pre-set barrier level: the derivative either springs into existence or, if the option already exists, it is extinguished.

  • Where the option springs into existence upon the underlying asset's price reaching the barrier level, it may be called an up and in, knock-in, or down and in option.
  • Where the option is extinguished upon the underlying asset's price reaching the barrier level, it may be called an up and out, knock-out, or down and out option.
  • A barrier option has a lower premium than a similar option without a barrier. Barrier options were created to provide the hedge of an option at a lower premium than a conventional option. For example, if an investor believes that the price of a particular common stock, now trading at $100 per share, will increase within the next 6 months, but will not reach $150 per share, you could buy the option with a barrier level of $150 at a lower premium than a conventional option on the same common stock.
