We introduce a class of utility-based market makers that always accept orders at their risk-
neutral prices. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for such market makers to have
bounded loss. We prove that hyperbolic absolute risk aversion utility market makers are
equivalent to weighted pseudospherical scoring rule market makers. In particular, Hanson's
logarithmic scoring rule market maker corresponds to a negative exponential utility market
maker in our framework. We describe a third equivalent formulation based on maintaining a …

We introduce a class of utility-based market makers that always accept orders at their risk-neutral prices. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for such market makers to have bounded loss. We prove that hyperbolic absolute risk aversion utility market makers are equivalent to weighted pseudospherical scoring rule market makers. In particular, Hanson's logarithmic scoring rule market maker corresponds to a negative exponential utility market maker in our framework. We describe a third equivalent formulation based on maintaining a cost function that seems most natural for implementation purposes, and we illustrate how to translate among the three equivalent formulations. We examine the tradeoff between the market's liquidity and the market maker's worst-case loss. For a fixed bound on worst-case loss, some market makers exhibit greater liquidity near uniform prices and some exhibit greater liquidity near extreme prices, but no market maker can exhibit uniformly greater liquidity in all regimes. For a fixed minimum liquidity level, we give the lower bound of market maker's worst-case loss under some regularity conditions.
