Abstract

We show that pointwise limits of semistatic trading strategies in discrete time are again semistatic strategies. The analysis is carried out in full generality for a two-period model, and under a probabilistic condition for multi-period, multi-stock models. Our result contrasts with a counterexample of Acciaio, Larsson and Schachermayer, and shows that their observation is due to a failure of integrability rather than instability of the semistatic form. Mathematically, our results relate to the decomposability of functions as studied in the context of Schr\"odinger bridges.
