Barrier options are FX contracts activated or deactivated when a specific exchange rate barrier is reached, offering a cost-effective way to manage FX risk based on market conditions.
Overview
Barrier options are similar to vanilla options, but with added conditions. These options are activated (knocked in) or deactivated (knocked out) depending on whether the exchange rate hits a pre-specified barrier. This provides businesses with a cost-effective way to manage FX risk with greater control over market conditions.
How CNS Treasury Helps
CNS Treasury simplifies the management of barrier options by automatically tracking whether the barrier has been reached and updating the status of the option accordingly. The platform ensures transparency in risk management, allowing you to monitor the potential activation or deactivation of options in real time.
