Abstract: This paper studies the topic of cost-efficiency in incomplete markets. A portfolio payoff is called cost-efficient if it achieves a given probability distribution at some given investment horizon with a minimum initial budget. Extensive literature exists for the case of a complete financial market. We show how the problem can be extended to incomplete markets and that the main results from the theory of complete markets still hold in adapted form. In particular, we find that in incomplete markets, the optimal portfolio choice for law-invariant non-decreasing preferences must be "perfectly" cost-efficient. This notion of perfect cost-efficiency is shown to be equivalent to the fact that the payoff can be rationalized, i.e., it is the solution to an expected utility problem.
