Convex duality in mean-variance hedging under convex trading constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study mean-variance hedging under portfolio constraints in a general semimartingale model. The constraints are formulated via predictable correspondences, meaning that the trading strategy is restricted to lie in a closed convex set which may depend on the state and time in a predictable way. To obtain the existence of a solution, we first establish the closedness in L2 of the space of all gains from trade (i.e., the terminal values of stochastic integrals with respect to the price process of the underlying assets). This is a first main contribution which enables us to tackle the problem in a systematic and unified way. In addition, using the closedness allows us to explain and generalise in a systematic way the convex duality results obtained previously by other authors via ad hoc methods in specific frameworks.

Robust pricing and hedging under trading restrictions and the emergence of local martingale models
The approach to pricing and hedging of options through considering the dual problem of finding the expected value of the payoff under a risk-neutral measure is both classical and well understood. In a complete market setting it is simply the way to compute the hedging price, as argued by Black and Scholes [4]. In incomplete markets, the method originated in El Karoui and Quenez [16], culminatin...
متن کاملOptimality and Duality for an Efficient Solution of Multiobjective Nonlinear Fractional Programming Problem Involving Semilocally Convex Functions
In this paper, the problem under consideration is multiobjective non-linear fractional programming problem involving semilocally convex and related functions. We have discussed the interrelation between the solution sets involving properly efficient solutions of multiobjective fractional programming and corresponding scalar fractional programming problem. Necessary and sufficient optimality...
متن کاملSome Robust Convex Programs without a Duality Gap∗
In this paper, we examine the duality gap between the robust counterpart of a primal uncertain convex optimization problem and the optimistic counterpart of its uncertain Lagrangian dual and identify the classes of uncertain problems which do not have a duality gap. The absence of a duality gap (or equivalently zero duality gap) means that the primal worst value equals the dual best value. We f...
متن کاملConvex measures of risk and trading constraints
We shall study the paper [3] by H.Föllmer and A. Schied. Here theauthors introduce the notion of a convex measure of risk, an extensionof the concept of a coherent risk measure defined in Artzner et al.(1999), and they prove a corresponding extension of the representationtheorem in terms of probability measures on the underlying space ofscenarios. As a case study, they c...
متن کاملOptimal Static-Dynamic Hedges for Barrier Options
We study optimal hedging of barrier options using a combination of a static position in vanilla options and dynamic trading of the underlying asset. The problem reduces to computing the Fenchel-Legendre transform of the utility-indifference price as a function of the number of vanilla options used to hedge. Using the well-known duality between exponential utility and relative entropy, we provid...
