Equity

Smart security investing requires in-depth research and analysis. Measuring all the influencing factors is an essential part of risk management. As a result, research groups continually create and modify mathematical models to calculate stock value, review forecasts, and develop innovative risk strategies.

"With this tool [MATLAB®], it is now possible to implement a sophisticated financial model within a couple of hours and run it in a couple of seconds."

 

The MATLAB product helps you calculate option valuation (left), optimize capital allocation (center), and develop forecasts from time series data (right). Click on image to see enlarged view.

 

Equity research groups use the thousands of math and graphics functions in MathWorks products to access stock data, perform statistical analysis, determine derivatives pricing, perform sensitivity analyses, and run Monte Carlo simulations. The graphics capabilities in MATLAB offer a variety of ways to review time series data, visualize portfolio risks and returns, and create forecasting graphs.
