19. A European investor in the US equity markets wants to buy a quanto call on the S&P 500 index, where the strike is written in euros. (See the previous question for the definition of a quanto). Can you explain why the investor wants such an option? Also explain what risks the investor is hedging by buying a quanto call on the equity index rather than a plain call on the S&P 500.
