ODD Quick Guide

Through the programs and services of The Options Industry Council (OIC), OCC has created an ODD Quick Guide to support your understanding of the disclosure document, Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Optionsalso known as the ODD. This resource is designed to help you navigate the disclosure document and explore the topics covered. The Options Industry Council also offers an Options Overview For Investors to help investors navigage the ODD. Prior to buying or selling an option, investors should read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. 

These guides are educational resources and are not a substitute for the ODD.
