On mean-variance hedging under partial observations and terminal wealth constraints

In the paper, a mean-square minimization problem under terminal wealth constraint with partial observations is studied. The problem is naturally connected to the mean-variance hedging problem under incomplete information. A new approach to solving this problem is proposed. The paper provides a solution when the underlying pricing process is a square-integrable semimartingale. The proposed method for the study is based on the martingale representation. In special cases, the Clark-Ocone representation can be used to obtain explicit solutions. The results and the method are illustrated and supported by example with two correlated geometric Brownian motions.
