Multiplicative Approximation of Wealth Processes Involving No-Short-Sale Strategies

Author

Abstract

A financial market model with general semimartingale asset-price processes and where agents can only trade using no-short-sale strategies is considered. We show that wealth processes using continuous trading can be approximated very closely by wealth processes using simple combinations of buy-and-hold trading. This approximation is based on controlling the proportions of wealth invested in the assets. As an application, the utility maximization problem is considered and it is shown that optimal utilities and wealth processes resulting from continuous trading can be approximated arbitrarily well by the use of simple combinations of buy-and-hold strategies.
