January 23, 2017 at 11:25 AM EST
Investors in iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index Fund (EWH) saw new options begin trading today, for the September 15th expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 235 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration..
