Contingent Exchange Option

An option to exchange one asset (a managed portfolio, for example) for another asset (a benchmark portfolio, for example) when the managed portfolio underperforms the benchmark portfolio by a prespecified amount and simultaneously drops below a prespecified hurdle value. This option protects a portfolio manager from concurrently experiencing unfavorable absolute and relative performance. See also Exchange Option. See Multi-Asset Option.
