ESMA Working Paper-Real-world and risk-neutral probabilities in the regulation on the transparency of structured products

January 15, 2014--Summary
The price of derivatives (and hence of structured products) can be calculated as the discounted value of expected future payoffs, assuming standard hypotheses on frictionless and complete markets and on the type of stochastic processes for the price of the underlying.

However, the probabilities used in the pricing process do not represent "real" probabilities of future events, because they are based on the assumption that market participants are risk-neutral. This paper reviews the relevant mathematical finance literature, and clarifies that the risk-neutrality hypothesis is acceptable for pricing, but not to forecast the future value of an asset.
