 Bounded-coefficient asset deflator

Work in discounted units with a unit bank account and a square invertible volatility matrix. For asset dynamics $dS=\mathrm{diag}(S)(\mu dt+\sigma dW)$, let $\lambda ={\sigma }^{-1}\mu$ and $Z=\mathcal{E}(-\int {\lambda }^{T}dW)$. The Itô product rule cancels the drift of each $Z{S}^i$, leaving the displayed stochastic integral. When $\mu$ is bounded and $\sigma {\sigma }^T\ge \epsilon I$, $\lambda$ is bounded and the Novikov condition makes $Z$ a true martingale on every finite horizon. If $\sigma$ is also bounded, each $Z{S}^i/S_0^i$ satisfies the Novikov condition as a stochastic exponential with bounded integrand ${\sigma }_i-\lambda$, so it too is a true martingale.
