Gleneagle ETOs
What are ETOs?
Exchange Traded Options (ETO) are versatile, leveraged derivative securities. ETOs can be used to hedge existing investments, reduce risk or make speculative trades. In addition, because of the flexibility offered by ETOs, investors are able to employ a large range of strategies, from simple to complex, to trade in every market.
Gleneagle Securities gives clients access to trade ETOs on the ASX. In addition, our specialist advisors can provide assistance with executing complex trading strategies, ensuring that you are well informed when making your investment decision.

How do ETOs work?
There are two types of ETOs that are the basis for all options strategies, Call Options and Put Options. Both can be sold (written) or bought (taken).
Call Options:
- Buyers (takers) of Call Options have the right, but not the obligation to BUY a specified volume of an underlying security for an agreed price, on or before a specified expiry date. Buyers of Call Options benefit from limited downside risk, but pay a premium for the option.
- Sellers (writers) of Call Options have the obligation to SELL a specified volume of an underlying security for an agree price up until expiry of the option. Sellers of Call Options benefit from earning premiums, but have unlimited downside risk.
Put Options:
- Buyers (takers) of Put Options have the right, but not the obligation to SELL a specified volume of an underlying security for an agreed price, on or before a specified expiry date. Buyers of Put Options benefit from limited downside risk, but pay a premium for the option.
- Sellers (writers) of Put Options have the obligation to BUY a specified volume of an underlying security for an agree price up until expiry of the option. Sellers of Put Options benefit from earning premiums, but have unlimited downside risk.
