By designing this experience, before exercising an option, customers will be asked to review their strategy, associated risks, and potential reasons to not exercise the contracts, in order to help them determine whether exercise meets their objectives. The platform will also display alerts and available actions when exercising a contract. These features were launched in the last few weeks and have been fully rolled out to all options customers.
