Self-Financing Trading and the Ito-Doeblin Lemma

Pricing of Securities 2015-01-13 v1 Mathematical Finance

Abstract

The objective of the note is to remind readers on how self-financing works in Quantitative Finance. The authors have observed continuing uncertainty on this issue which may be because it lies exactly at the intersection of stochastic calculus and finance. The concept of a self-financing trading strategy was originally, and carefully, introduced in (Harrison and Kreps 1979) and expanded very generally in (Harrison and Pliska 1981).
