One of the earliest concepts for hedging and pricing in incomplete flnancial markets has been the quadratic criterion of local risk-minimization. However, deflnitions and theory have so far been established only for the case of a single (one-dimensional) risky asset. We extend the approach to a general multidi- mensional setting and prove that the basic martingale characterization result for locally risk-minimizing strategies still holds true. In comparison with exist- ing literature, the self-contained presentation is more streamlined, and a number of earlier imposed technical conditions are no longer needed. As a minor ex- tension, we show how payment streams (instead of flnal payofis only) can be handled as well.
