Abstract

In a stock market, the numeraire portfolio, if it exists, is the portfolio with the highest expected logarithmic growth rate at all times. A numeraire market is a stock market for which the market portfolio is the numeraire portfolio. We study open markets, markets comprising the higher capitalization stocks within a broad equity universe. The stocks we consider are represented by continuous semimartingales, and we construct an example of a numeraire market that is asymptotically stable.
