Abstract
We study the convexity property of the set QF of arbitrage ‐ free prices of a multi
‐period financial structure F. The set of arbitrage‐free prices is shown to be a convex cone under conditions on the financial structure F that hold in particular for short ‐ lived assets. Furthermore, we provide examples of equivalent financial structures F and F1 such that QF is a convex cone, but QF is neither convex nor a cone.
