Risk Neutral Pricing

Risk neutral pricing is a method of valuing derivatives by assuming that all investors are indifferent to risk. In this framework, the expected return on all assets is the risk-free rate, regardless of their actual risk profile.

By discounting expected future payoffs at the risk-free rate, one can determine the fair value of an option today. This approach is mathematically convenient because it allows for the use of probability measures that simplify complex derivative valuations.

While investors are clearly not risk-neutral in reality, this pricing methodology is consistent with no-arbitrage conditions. It remains the standard approach for consistent derivative valuation.
