Financial instruments for hedging and speculating on the foreign exchange rate and equity risks draw the attention of market participants as financial transactions increase across multiple jurisdictions. Notably, a quanto lookback option has been actively traded because it successfully meets market demands. Although the quanto lookback option provides numerous benefits, a high premium due to the lookback feature is the primary culprit that hinders investors from purchasing it. This paper proposes partial quanto lookback options and provides the closed -form pricing formulas when the lookback feature is applied to the exchange rate or equity value, and the extremes are determined by observing them for a shorter period than the life of the option. Because pricing the options is challenging due to their partial path-dependence, we develop the quanto extreme expectation that facilitates deriving the option prices. Extensive numerical examples demonstrate the efficacy of the partial quanto lookback options in lowering the premiums.
