The authors analyze various aspects of the relation between semimartingale property of the risk asset and absence of the arbitrage in the market. As a new version of market model, they consider a market where there are one risky asset, whose price is a strictly positive process \(S\), and a less risky asset \(S^0\), possibly riskless but a priori only with bounded variation. A class of admissible trading strategies is specified, and if it is not large enough to generate all predictable simple strategies, then \(S\) has no need to be a semimartingale. The aim of the paper is to settle the basis of a fundamental calculus which allows to model financial assets without semimartingales. More exactly, the paper provides a mathematical framework which extends Itô calculus conserving some particular aspects of it in a non-semimartingale framework. The two major tools are forward integrals and \(\mathcal{A}\)-martingales. Moreover, the basis is built of a corresponding financial theory which allows to deal with several problems as hedging and non-arbitrage pricing, viability and completeness as well as with utility maximization.
