Monte Carlo Simulations in Investing

Description

Monte Carlo simulation tests an investment decision against thousands of random outcomes. The lessons introduce the method, then show how to set up a first simulation in Excel.

You read about probability distributions for financial modelling, portfolio risk models, and simulating stock price movements and returns. Applied lessons look at retirement planning scenarios, real estate opportunities and business projects, followed by risk assessment dashboards, advanced applications and best practices. The PDFs include a worksheet, a checklist and exercises. Each application lesson shows how the same method applies to a different type of decision.

Who it is for: investors and analysts with spreadsheet skills who want to model risk.
