The class of nonlinear integro-differential Cauchy problems \[ \begin{gathered} \partial_tu+ F(x,t,u,l{\mathcal I},Du, D^2u)= 0,\quad (x,t)\in\mathbb{R}^n\times (0, T],\\ u(x,0)= u_0(x),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\end{gathered} \] where the integral term \({\mathcal I}u\) is given by \[ {\mathcal I}u(x, t)= \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} M(u(x+z,t), u(x,t))\,d\mu_{x,t}(z) \] is studied by means of the viscosity solutions approach. In view of financial applications, the author is interested in continuous initial data with exponential growth at infinity. Existence and uniqueness of solution is obtained through Perron's method, via a comparison principle; besides, a first-order regularity result is given. The extension of the standard theory of viscosity solutions allows to price derivatives in jump-diffusion markets with correlated assets, even in the presence of a large investor, by means of the PDEs approach. In particular, derivatives may be perfectly hedged in a completed market.
