This paper presents results on the convergence for hedging strategies in the setting of incompletenancial markets. We examine the convergence of the so-called locally risk-minimizing strategy. It is proved that such a choice for the trading strategy, when perfect hedging of contingent claims is infeasible, is robust under weak convergence. Several fundamental examples, such as trinomial trees and stochastic volatility mod- els, extracted from thenancial modelling literature illustrate this property for both deterministic and random time intervals shrinking to zero.
