Abstract/Summary:
Nonzero proportional transaction costs make perfect replication impossible in the Black-Scholes model. We find the distribution of the replication error caused by readjustments of the hedging portfolio at discrete time intervals. Taking a Leland type limit, we find the limiting behavior of transaction costs being paid. Using these two results, we suggest a method for finding the optimal rebalancing interval.
