5 Fundamental Theorems of Asset Pricing Definition A martingale measure is a probability measure, equivalent to the actual measure, under which all discounted (at the possibly random interest rate) asset price processes are martingales. 5 / 56

6 Fundamental Theorems of Asset Pricing Definition A martingale measure is a probability measure, equivalent to the actual measure, under which all discounted (at the possibly random interest rate) asset price processes are martingales. Theorem (First Fundamental Theorem) There exists a martingale measure if and only if a model admits no arbitrage. 6 / 56

7 Fundamental Theorems of Asset Pricing Definition A martingale measure is a probability measure, equivalent to the actual measure, under which all discounted (at the possibly random interest rate) asset price processes are martingales. Theorem (First Fundamental Theorem) There exists a martingale measure if and only if a model admits no arbitrage. Theorem (Second Fundamental Theorem) Consider a model that admits no arbitrage. The martingale measure is unique if and only if every derivative security can be replicated by trading in the primary assets. 7 / 56

46 Evolution of limiting workload measure 1 G(x) W (t) F (t) x W (t) is a reflected Brownian motion with drift γ. The limiting scaled frontier is F (t) = H 1( W (t) ). The limit of the measure-valued workload process Ŵ(n) (t) has density ( 1 G(x) ) li {x F (t)}. We call this limiting measure-valued process W (t). (Doytchinov, Lehoczky, Shreve (2000)) 46 / 56
