Deferred Premium Option
An option contract ? whether a call or a put ? in which the premium is not paid until the expiration date. A deferred premium option is a form of an American option; that is, the option may be exercised at any point until the expiration date. Generally speaking, deferred premium options are long-term investments; the expiration date (and hence the premium payment) is usually at least a year after the date the contract is first entered. It is also called a deferred payment option or a Boston option.
