Real option

An option or option-like feature embedded in a real investment opportunity.

Real Option

A situation in which an investor is able to choose between two different investments where both choices involve tangible assets. That is, in a real option, the investor may choose between assets like land or inventory; financial instruments like stocks and bonds are not involved in a real option. It should be noted that a real option has nothing to do with an option contract.
