On the Approximation of Random Variables by Stochastic Integrals with Respect to Semimartingales

In this paper it is shown that the space of stochastic integrals w.r. to a special semimartingal is closed and hence every square integrable random variable admits a best approximation in this space. In terms of financial economics this means that for every contingent claim there exists a hedging strategy minimizing the expected square of net loss.
