Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• B) By using the probabilities in the risk-neutral world we can price any derivative security-that is, any security whose payoff depends solely on the prices of other marketed assets.
• C) To ensure that all assets in the risk-neutral world have an expected return equal to the risk-free rate, relative to the true probabilities, the risk-neutral probabilities underweight the bad states and overweight the good states.
