The Valuation of Contingent Claims under Portfolio Constraints: Reservation Buying and Selling Prices
نویسنده
چکیده
With constrained portfolios contingent claims do not generally have a unique price that rules out arbitrage opportunities. Earlier studies have demonstrated that when there are constraints on the hedge portfolio, a no-arbitrage price interval for any contingent claim exists. I consider the more realistic case where the constraints are imposed on the total portfolio of each investor and define reservation buying and selling prices for contingent claims. I derive properties of these prices, show how they can be computed numerically, and study two simple examples in which the reservation prices and the corresponding hedging strategies are compared to the Black–Scholes setting.

Valuing Real Options in Incomplete Markets
In this paper, we develop a framework for valuing real options and portfolios of real options in incomplete markets and show that it is a consistent generalization of contingent claims analysis, which is conventionally used for real option valuation in complete markets. The development of a framework for incomplete markets is motivated by the difficulty to construct replicating portfolios in pr...
متن کاملOn Utility-based Pricing of Contingent Claims in Incomplete Markets
As is well known, in a complete financial market every contingent claim can be perfectly replicated by a controlled portfolio of the traded securities and therefore admits a well-defined arbitrage-free price. In an incomplete market, to every contingent claim is associated an interval of arbitrage-free prices but, unless the contingent claim is replicable, in which case this set consists of a s...
متن کاملHedging American contingent claims with constrained portfolios
The valuation theory for American Contingent Claims, due to Bensoussan (1984) and Karatzas (1988), is extended to deal with constraints on portfolio choice, including incomplete markets and borrowing/short-selling constraints, or with different interest rates for borrowing and lending. In the unconstrained case, the classical theory provides a single arbitrage-free price u0; this is expressed a...
متن کاملSuper-replication in Stochastic Volatility Models under Portfolio Constraints
We study a financial market with incompleteness arising from two sources: stochastic volatility and portfolio constraints. The latter are given in terms of bounds imposed on the borrowing and short-selling of a ‘hedger’ in this market, and can be described by a closed convex set K . We find explicit characterizations of the minimal price needed to super-replicate European-type contingent claims...
متن کاملOn the Pricing of Contingent Claims under Constraints
We discuss the problem of pricing contingent claims, such as European call-options, based on the fundamental principle of “absence of arbitrage” and in the presence of constraints on portfolio choice, e.g. incomplete markets and markets with short-selling constraints. Under such constraints, we show that there exists an arbitrage-free interval which contains the celebrated Black-Scholes price (...
