What Is the Concept of ‘Option Style’ beyond American and European?

Beyond American (exercisable anytime) and European (exercisable only at expiration), there are exotic options styles. Examples include Bermuda options, which are exercisable on a set of predetermined dates, and Asian options, where the payoff depends on the average price of the underlying asset over a period.

These styles offer customized risk profiles.
