Abstract

We study markets with no riskless (safe) asset. We derive the corresponding Black–Scholes–Merton option pricing equations for markets where there are only risky assets which have the following price dynamics: (i) continuous diffusions; (ii) jump-diffusions; (iii) diffusions with stochastic volatilities, and; (iv) geometric fractional Brownian and Rosenblatt motions. No-arbitrage and market-completeness conditions are derived in all four cases.
