On the martingale-fair index of return for investment funds
Abstract
A concept of martingale-fair index of return, consistent with Arbitrage Free Pricing Theory, is introduced. An explicit formula for the average rate of return of a group of investment/pension funds in a discrete time stochastic model is derived and several properties of this index are shown. In particular, it is proven to be martingale-fair, i.e. be a martingale provided the prices of assets on the financial market form a vector martingale. The problem of merger of the funds is treated in detail.
