We provide a new characterization of mean-variance hedging strategies in a general semimartingale market. The key point is the introduction of a new probability measure PP^{\star} which turns the dynamic asset allocation problem into a myopic one. The minimal martingale measure relative to PP^{\star} coincides with t…
