Abstract

We provide a critical analysis of the proof of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing given in the paper Arbitrage and approximate arbitrage: the fundamental theorem of asset pricing by B. Wong and C.C. Heyde (Stochastics, 2010) in the context of incomplete Itô-process models. We show that their approach can only work in the known case of a complete financial market and give an explicit counterexample.
