Abstract

This paper investigates the valuation of a novel financial derivative, the Compound Exchange option, which gives the holder the right to exchange two European call options with different underlying assets. Combining features of rainbow-, and compound options, a new class of exotic option is established. A closed-form pricing formula is derived for this novel option with underlying assets that have nonlinear payoffs, requiring a modification of the classic Margrabe framework. Probabilities and risk-neutral expected values under various scenarios are also calculated. The study contributes to the theory of exotic option pricing, providing practical insights for practitioners, academics, and risk managers.
