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

Abstract

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 coefficients but also on the chosen complete discrete-time reference model.
