= Risk-neutral measure
{wiki=Risk-neutral_measure}
A risk-neutral measure is a concept used primarily in financial mathematics and quantitative finance, particularly in the context of pricing derivatives and financial instruments. It is a probability measure under which the present value of future cash flows can be calculated by discounting the expected payoffs at the risk-free rate, without needing to consider the risk preferences of investors. In a risk-neutral world, all investors are indifferent to risk, which means they require no additional return for taking on more risk.
