| dhiru | Why not II ? |
| dhiru | I guess, probably because II does not contribute to market completeness |
| bobert | Market Completeness: A complete market is a market in which any and all identifiable payoffs can be obtained by trading the securities available in the market. Given the above statement, if you can find an arbitrage opportunity, I would consider that a payoff, and that is done by trading securities. Why would that not be an answer then? |
| aakash1108 | Offering Aribtrage Opportunities is not an "Efficient Market". If the market is not Efficient, it is not complete. Arbitrage Opportunities is against EMH. |
| group | You are right Aakash, offering arbitrage opportunities is not an Efficient Market and if the market is not efficient it is not complete... |
| cong | I is the right answer because II and III are not directly relevant to market completeness. |
| JakeZ | II contributes to Market Efficiency tho donno if thats part of COMPLETENESS... |
| ankurwa10 | question is, are complete markets efficient too ? I think not, but then what do i know. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
