On the density of properly maximal claims in financial markets with transaction costs

No-arbitrage in discrete-time markets with proportional transaction costs and general information structure

We discuss the no-arbitrage conditions in a general framework for discrete-time models of financial markets with proportional transaction costs and general information structure. We extend the results of Kabanov and al. (2002), Kabanov and al. (2003) and Schachermayer (2004) to the case where bid-ask spreads are not known with certainty. In the "no-friction" case, we retrieve the result of Kabanov and Stricker (2003).

Anomaly Detection Model for Imbalanced Datasets

This paper proposes a method to detect bank frauds using a mixed approach combining a stochastic intensity model with the probability of fraud observed on transactions. It is a dynamic unsupervised approach which is able to predict financial frauds. The fraud prediction probability on the financial transaction is derived as a function of the dynamic intensities. In this context, the Kalman filter method is proposed to estimate the dynamic intensities. The application of our methodology to financial datasets shows a better predictive power in higher imbalanced data compared to other intensity-b…

Growth-optimal portfolios under transaction costs

This paper studies a portfolio optimization problem in a discrete-time Markovian model of a financial market, in which asset price dynamics depend on an external process of economic factors. There are transaction costs with a structure that covers, in particular, the case of fixed plus proportional costs. We prove that there exists a self-financing trading strategy maximizing the average growth rate of the portfolio wealth. We show that this strategy has a Markovian form. Our result is obtained by large deviations estimates on empirical measures of the price process and by a generalization of …

Super-replication with proportional transaction cost under model uncertainty

We consider a discrete time financial market with proportional transaction cost under model uncertainty, and study a super-replication problem. We recover the duality results that are well known in the classical dominated context. Our key argument consists in using a randomization technique together with the minimax theorem to convert the initial problem to a frictionless problem set on an enlarged space. This allows us to appeal to the techniques and results of Bouchard and Nutz (2015) to obtain the duality result.

The Scaling Limit of Superreplication Prices with Small Transaction Costs in the Multivariate Case

Kusuoka [ Limit Theorem on Option Replication Cost with Transaction Costs, Ann. Appl. Probab. 5, 198--221, (1995).] showed how to obtain non-trivial scaling limits of superreplication prices in discrete-time models of a single risky asset which is traded at properly scaled proportional transaction costs. This article extends the result to a multi-variate setup where the investor can trade in several risky assets. The $G$-expectation describing the limiting price involves models with a volatility range around the frictionless scaling limit that depends not only on the transaction costs coeffici…

Robust Hedging with Proportional Transaction Costs

Duality for robust hedging with proportional transaction costs of path dependent European options is obtained in a discrete time financial market with one risky asset. Investor's portfolio consists of a dynamically traded stock and a static position in vanilla options which can be exercised at maturity. Both the stock and the option trading is subject to proportional transaction costs. The main theorem is duality between hedging and a Monge-Kantorovich type optimization problem. In this dual transport problem the optimization is over all the probability measures which satisfy an approximate ma…

The super-replication theorem under proportional transaction costs revisited

We consider a financial market with one riskless and one risky asset. The super-replication theorem states that there is no duality gap in the problem of super-replicating a contingent claim under transaction costs and the associated dual problem. We give two versions of this theorem. The first theorem relates a numéraire-based admissibility condition in the primal problem to the notion of a local martingale in the dual problem. The second theorem relates a numéraire -free admissibility condition in the primal problem to the notion of a uniformly integrable martingale in the dual problem.

On the Hedging of American Options in Discrete Time Markets with Proportional Transaction Costs

In this note, we consider a general discrete time financial market with proportional transaction costs as in Kabanov and Stricker (2001), Kabanov et al. (2002), Kabanov et al. (2003) and Schachermayer (2004). We provide a dual formulation for the set of initial endowments which allow to super-hedge some American claim. We show that this extends the result of Chalasani and Jha (2001) which was obtained in a model with constant transaction costs and risky assets which evolve on a finite dimensional tree. We also provide fairly general conditions under which the expected formulation in terms of s…

Growth-optimal investments and numeraire portfolios under transaction costs: An analysis based on the von Neumann-Gale model

The aim of this work is to extend the capital growth theory developed by Kelly, Breiman, Cover and others to asset market models with transaction costs. We define a natural generalization of the notion of a numeraire portfolio proposed by Long and show how such portfolios can be used for constructing growth-optimal investment strategies. The analysis is based on the classical von Neumann-Gale model of economic dynamics, a stochastic version of which we use as a framework for the modelling of financial markets with frictions.
