Abstract: We prove the superhedging duality for a discrete-time financial market with proportional transaction costs under model uncertainty. Frictions are modeled through solvency cones as in the original model of [Kabanov, Y., Hedging and liquidation under transaction costs in currency markets. Fin. Stoch., 3(2):237-248, 1999] adapted to the quasi-sure setup of [Bouchard, B. and Nutz, M., Arbitrage and duality in nondominated discrete-time models. Ann. Appl. Probab., 25(2):823-859, 2015]. Our approach allows to remove the restrictive assumption of No Arbitrage of the Second Kind considered in [Bouchard, B., Deng, S. and Tan, X., Super-replication with proportional transaction cost under model uncertainty, Math. Fin., 29(3):837-860, 2019] and to show the duality under the more natural condition of No Strict Arbitrage. In addition, we extend the results to models with portfolio constraints.


The authors prove the super-hedging duality for a discrete - time financial market with proportional transaction costs under model uncertainty. They do not require the strong assumption \(NA_2(P)\) and they show the super-hedging duality under the more natural condition of strict no arbitrage \(NA^s(P)\). The latter ensures that it is not possible to make profits without taking any risk; thus it generalizes the classical no-arbitrage condition in frictionless markets. They also do not assume other unnecessary hypotheses taken in [\textit{B. Bouchard} et al., Math. Finance 29, No. 3, 837--860 (2019; Zbl 1426.91283)]: (i) they do not require that transaction costs are uniformly bounded (ii) they do not require the technical assumption \(K^*_t \cap \partial \mathbb{R}^d_+= \{ 0 \}\) for any \(t=0,\cdots,T\).
