The benchmark model introduced by Platen (2002) has not been well studied in literature for the case of incomplete information whereas the incompleteness of the information in financial modeling is usual in practice. Some of the factors that characterize the evolution of the market may be hidden. It is well-known that a financial market with constant parameters can only model for a relatively short period of time. Thus, there is a need to use stochastically varying parameters. One possibility is to introduce a continuous-time Markov chain, as a random source to modulate the coefficients of the stochastic differential equation (SDE) representing the general market direction. In the present work, we consider a jump diffusion model with Markov-modulated coefficients. First we derive the growth optimal portfolio (GOP) for the case of complete information by using the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation to solve the optimization problem.
[...] Along these lines, in Platen (2002, 2004), pricing and hedging are performed for complete markets with jump diffusions without the measure transformation. Platen and Runggaldier (2004) have generalized the model by using the GOP for pricing and hedging in incomplete markets when there are unobserved factors to be filtered. The paper is structured in the following way: Section 2 introduces the financial model under which we derive option price for the European kind contingent claim with benchmark approach. GOP has been derived in section 3 and the fair price of a European option is obtained. [...]

[...] In particular, π is a growth optimal portfolio strategy. We now take the V π , the wealth process corresponding to a GOP, as benchmark or reference unit and we call prices when expressed in unit of V π as benchmarked prices. Furthermore, we call a model with the above prescribed form of prices a benchmark model. That is, we have the benchmarked primary security account process = V , = and the benchmarked value of the wealth process corresponding to the portfolio π is Vtπ t 4 t ˆ Vtπ = V for t T By Ito's formula t the benchmarked value process will satisfy the SDE Vπ dV π = V π (t)σ1 (Xt ) + π2 (t)σ2 (Xt ) (Xt ))dWt + (π1 (t)ρ1 (Xt )+π2 (t)ρ2 (Xt )+1)θ2 λ(t) 1 dMt the above defined fair price coincides with the corresponding risk-neutral price in case of complete (incomplete) market.
