Semi-parametric upper bounds are derived for call and put options. These bounds depend only on moments of the return distribution. The importance of skewness of the underlying price distribution on option bounds is demonstrated. Examples of bounds to lognormal diffusions and mixed diffusion-jump processes are calculated.
