2 Outline Superhedging Duality Classical results Quasi-sure analysis Pathwise setting Example of duality gap Our approach in the Pathwise setting in discrete time Superhedging duality Tuning arbitrage conditions: Arbitrage de la Classe S Tuning from model-free to model specification: selection of universe of scenarios Arbitrage theory Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
3 Three approaches 1 We are completely sure about the reference probability measure P: The classical set up. 2 Knightian uncertainty: We accept that the model could be described in a probabilistic setting, but we cannot assume the knowledge of a specific reference probability measure but at most of a set of priors. This leads to the theory of Quasi-sure Stochastic Analysis; or in the Decision Theory literature: MinMax Expected Utility (Gilboa Schmeidler (89)); Variational Preferences (Maccheroni, Marinacci, Rustichini (06)). 3 We face complete uncertainty about any probabilistic model and therefore we describe our model independently by any probability: Pathwise approach.

5 The Pricing-Hedging Duality The classical case: Let (S t ) t=0,...t be an F-adapted d-dimensional stochastic process on a probability space (Ω, F, P). Let: (H S) t := t H u (S u S u 1 ) = u=1 d j=1 t u=1 H j u(s j u S j u 1 ). Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40

Does this Theorem hold? No in general, We are about to show a counterexample. Positive answer under market assumptions and restrictions on the contingent claim, see Acciaio et al.

16 An example In the next example, we show that the initial cost of the cheapest portfolio that dominates a contingent claim g on every possible path inf {x R H H such that x + (H S) T (ω) g(ω) ω Ω} can be strictly greater than sup Q M E Q [g], unless some additional assumptions are imposed on g or on the market. To avoid such restrictions it is crucial to select the correct set of paths (i.e. the set Ω of those ω Ω which are weighted by at least one martingale measure Q M).

Suppose we want to calculate the superhedging price of the digital option: g := 1 (K0,K 0 +2)(S 1 T (ω)) = 1 (K0,K 0 +2)(ω) We have two possible mechanisms via martingale measures E Q [g] = 0 sup Q M E Q [g] = 0 Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40

24 An example 3/4 The following Figures show how S 2 and S 3 are useless for superhedging g Figure: αs 2 does not dominate g on (K 0, K 0 + ε) for any α with ε = ε(α) Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40

26 An example 4/4 We can conclude that it is possible to superhedge g by strategies that involve only the non-risky asset S 0 and S 1.

(16) are satisfied except for the upper-semi continuity of g. If we consider the usc digital option g := 1 [K0,K 0 +2] then the duality gap disappear.

28 Relaxation The supremum on the left-hand side is taken over the whole set of martingale measure: we cannot increase its value So in order to find a duality Theorem in the general case: We need to reduce the set of trajectories for superhedging. We show that, without any additional assumptions on the market or on the contingent claim g, there is No duality gap. The proof of this result is not based on functional analytic duality theorems, but rely on the pathwise analysis of No Arbitrage. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40

33 Towards a correct duality Let us now introduce the set Ω := {ω Ω Q({ω}) > 0 for some Q M} where M := {Q P S is a (Q, F)-martingale} We might call Ω the support of the class of martingale measure: any event in Ω has positive probability for at least one martingale measure.

34 Towards a correct duality Let us now introduce the set Ω := {ω Ω Q({ω}) > 0 for some Q M} where M := {Q P S is a (Q, F)-martingale} We might call Ω the support of the class of martingale measure: any event in Ω has positive probability for at least one martingale measure. Proposition Ω is an analytic set and hence belongs to F T This will be important also for the extensions that we will see by the end of the talk, where the theory is developed replacing Ω with any (analytic) subset of feasible paths: Ω X Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40

36 Towards a correct duality Question: is the set Ω non-empty? Theorem (Burzoni, F., Maggis (16)) M = Ω = No Strong Arbitrage where a strong arbitrage is a strategy H H such that (H S) T (ω) > 0 ω Ω. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
37 Towards a correct duality Question: is the set Ω non-empty? Theorem (Burzoni, F., Maggis (16)) M = Ω = No Strong Arbitrage where a strong arbitrage is a strategy H H such that (H S) T (ω) > 0 ω Ω. Caution: here one needs a filtration enlargement. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
38 Towards a correct duality Question: is the set Ω non-empty? Theorem (Burzoni, F., Maggis (16)) M = Ω = No Strong Arbitrage where a strong arbitrage is a strategy H H such that (H S) T (ω) > 0 ω Ω. Caution: here one needs a filtration enlargement. Something more can be said assuming stronger notions of No Arbitrage. A one point arbitrage consists in a strategy H H such that (H S) T (ω) 0 ω Ω and ω Ω s.t. (H S) T ( ω) > 0. Proposition Ω = Ω iff No one point arbitrage holds. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
39 The superhedging duality Theorem The set Ω is crucial for obtaining the duality since it represents the set of efficient trajectories where the hedging strategy should be considered. Theorem Let g be an F-measurable contingent claim. sup E Q [g] = inf {x R H H s.t. x + (H S) T g ω Ω } Q M where M is the class of probability measures Q for which the price process is an F-martingale. When finite, the inf is attained. No reference to any a priori assigned probability measure and the notions of M, H and Ω only depend on the measurable space (Ω, F) and the price process S. In general, the class M is not dominated. No additional assumptions on the market or on the claim g. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
40 The superhedging duality Theorem We obtain a similar result also admitting dynamic trading in S and static trading a finite number of options: Φ = {φ i } k i=1. Here we set: H := (α, H) R k H) Theorem (Superhedging with options) Let g be an F-measurable contingent claim. Let Φ = {φ i } k i=1. } sup E Q [g] = inf {x R H s.t. x + ( H S) T + α Φ g ω Ω Φ Q M Φ where M Φ is the class of probability Q with finite support for which the price process is an F-martingale and E Q [φ] = 0 for all φ Φ and Ω Φ := {ω Ω Q({ω}) > 0 for some Q M Φ } This formulation of the theorem is in a joint paper with Burzoni, Hou, Maggis, Obloj (16) and is not a trivial consequence of the case without options. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
41 Key result for the proof One of the main technical results of the paper is the proof that the set Ω is an analytic set, and so our findings show that the natural setup for studying this problem is (Ω, S, F,H), with F = {F t } t the Universal filtration F t = P F S t N P t H := {F-predictable processes}. as the universal filtration contains the analytic sets.

42 Results based on BFM2016 The results presented so far can be found in: Burzoni M., F., Maggis M., Model-free Superhedging Duality, 2016, Ann. Appl. Prob. and are based on the theory about Model-free arbitrage in discrete time developed in: Burzoni M., Frittelli M., Maggis M., Universal Arbitrage Aggregator in Discrete Time Markets under Uncertainty, Fin. Stoch. 1/2016, 1-50 which we now sketch. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
43 On Arbitrage The market does not admit arbitrage opportunities if it is not possible to create a portfolio of financial securities in such a way that the initial investment is zero (or even negative) and the final outcome is always non negative and in some cases strictly positive.

44 The elementary version of the FTAP Theorem Let Ω = (ω 1,..., ω n ) be a finite state space, S 0 = (s 1,..., s d ) be the time zero price of d financial assets, S(ω) = (S 1 (ω),..., S d (ω)), be the final random value of the d assets. H R d s.t. H S 0 0 and H S(ω) 0 ω, with strict > for some ω Q s.t. E Q [S j ] = s j and Q(ω i ) > 0 i = 1,..., n; j = 1,..., d, where Q is a probability measure on Ω. In the finite setting, there is no need to specify a reference probability. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
45 Extension of the FTAP to general state space Such linear pricing rules Q consistent with the observed prices (s 1,..., s d ) turn out to be martingale probability measures with full support, i.e. they assign positive measure to any state of the world. The formulation of the previous theorem can not hold for uncountable infinite dimensional Ω, as Q(ω) > 0 ω Ω is impossible. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
46 Extension of the FTAP to general state space Such linear pricing rules Q consistent with the observed prices (s 1,..., s d ) turn out to be martingale probability measures with full support, i.e. they assign positive measure to any state of the world. The formulation of the previous theorem can not hold for uncountable infinite dimensional Ω, as Q(ω) > 0 ω Ω is impossible. By introducing a reference probability measure P with full support and defining an arbitrage as: H S 0 0 and P(H S(ω) 0) = 1, P(H S(ω) > 0) > 0 the previous theorem could be restated as: No Arbitrage Q P s.t. E Q [S j ] = s j j = 1,..., d. Indeed, this formulation is a non trivial extension of the FTAP to the case of a general infinite dimensional Ω. Dalang Morton Willinger W. Schachermayer C.

48 Arbitrage de la Classe S Let: V + H := {ω Ω (H S) T (ω) > 0}. Definition Let S be a class of measurable subsets of Ω such that / S. A trading strategy H H is an Arbitrage de la classe S if (H S) T (ω) 0 ω Ω and V + H contains a set de la classe S. The class S has the role to translate mathematically the meaning of a true gain : there is a true gain if the set V + H contains a set considered significant. When a reference probability P is given, then a true gain is: P((H S) T ) > 0) > 0 When a subset P of probability measures is given, one replace the P-a.s. conditions with P-q.s conditions, similar to BN (15).

The above hold only under an enlargement of the filtration! Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
59 A more general perspective We observed the need to superhedge on a (analytic) subset of Ω The class S has the role of tuning between arbitrage conditions Our next aim is to interpolate between Model Specific and Model Free settings to obtain FTAP (and Pricing-Hedging duality) with or without statically traded options. Scenario based analysis: agent s beliefs are represented by selecting a set of admissible scenarios which we denote by Ω, a subset of all possible paths. Remark (Selection of Paths) This selection may be formulated in terms of behaviour of some market observable quantities and may reflect both the information the agent is endowed with, as well as the modelling assumptions.

60 Model free vs Model Specific The first part of this paper concentrates on laying the foundations for a rational theory of option pricing. It is an attempt to derive theorems about the properties of option prices based on assumptions sufficiently weak to gain universal support. To the extent it is successful the resulting theorems become necessary conditions to be satisfied by any rational option pricing theory. As one might expect, assumptions weak enough to be accepted by all are not sufficient to determine uniquely a rational theory of warrant pricing.

65 A curious example Davis, Hobson 07 [..] a weak arbitrage opportunity is a situation where we know there must be an arbitrage but we cannot tell, without further information, what strategy will realize it. Example Consider two call options C 1, C 2 on the same underlying with same initial price p 1 = p 2 but strikes K 2 > K 1. { 0 if ST K Strategy A: C 1 C 2 V T (H) = 1 > 0 if S T > K 1 what if P(S T > K 1 ) = 0?

70 Arbitrage notions on the subset Ω We now introduce the notions of arbitrage opportunities on Ω. Definition Fix a filtration F, Ω F A and a set of statically traded options Φ. A One-Point Arbitrage on Ω (1p-Arbitrage) is a strategy (α, H) A Φ (F) such that α Φ + (H S) T 0 on Ω with a strict inequality for some ω Ω. A Strong Arbitrage on Ω is a strategy (α, H) A Φ (F) such that α Φ + (H S) T > 0 on Ω. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
71 The set of efficient paths Let F M be the completion of F S with respect to the set of calibrated martingale measures with finite support M f Ω,Φ : F M t = P M f Ω,Φ F S t N P t Ω Φ F A is the set of scenarios (efficient paths) charged by martingale measures in M f Ω,Φ Ω Φ := { ω Ω Q M f Ω,Φ such that Q(ω) > 0 } = supp(q) Q M f Ω,Φ Our FTAP: Universal principle which characterizes the existence of efficient paths. We look for a unique object to aggregate ambiguous implementations Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
72 Pathwise FTAP on Ω X with options Theorem (Pathwise FTAP on Ω X ) Fix Ω F A and Φ a finite set of F A -measurable statically traded options. Then, there exists a filtration F which aggregates arbitrage views in that: No Strong Arbitrage in A Φ ( F) on Ω M Ω,Φ (F S ) = Ω Φ = and F S F F M. Further, Ω Φ F A and there exists an Arbitrage Aggregator (α, H ) A Φ ( F) such that α Φ + (H S) T 0 on Ω and Ω Φ = {ω Ω α Φ(ω) + (H S) T (ω) = 0}. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
73 Pathwise FTAP on Ω X with options Some remark about the FTAP with statically traded options We provide a new simplified proof ( w.r.to the case with no options of Burzoni, Frittelli, M. 16), which relies on a conditional construction of the Arbitrage Aggregator via Castaing representation. The case with a finite number of options is interconnected with the proof of Pricing-Hedging duality with options. By fixing P and by selecting a particular set Ω P X we obtain the Dalang-Morton-Willinger FTAP We also recover the Acciao et al. (2016) result on the pricing-hedging duality when a superlinear option is available for trading. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
74 Classical model specification - DMW setting Fix a probability measure P and Φ = 0 (no options). The filtration F can be chosen to be the P-completion of F S ; The set Ω is constructed as follows. For 1 t T, we denote χ t 1 the (random) support of the conditional distribution of S t. Consider now the set T U := {ω X S t (ω) χ t 1 (ω)} t=1 which satisfies U B X and P(U) = 1. Define now { Ω P U if P(U ) > 0 := U \ U if P(U ) = 0, which satisfies Ω P F A and P(Ω P ) = 1. Marco Frittelli Milano University () Pathwise Finance SB / 40
75 Recovering the DMW Theorem Consider a probability P P and let M P := {Q M Q P}. Proposition There exists a set of scenarios Ω P F A and a filtration F such that F S F F M and No Strong Arbitrage in A( F) on Ω P M P =. Further, ( No P arbitrage P (Ω P ) ) = 1 M P =, where M P := {Q M Q P}. where No P-Arbitrage means the absence of the classical arbitrage opportunity with respect to (P, F S ).
