Overview

Understand the impact of risk and uncertainty in finance with Monte Carlo Simulation

The Monte Carlo simulation is a widely used statistical simulation to deal with risks and probabilities. This course aims to get students familiar with the applications of Monte Carlo methods on the valuation of projects/firms, the pricing of financial derivatives, and the structuring of wealth management solutions.

We cover the basic principles of the Monte Carlo methods, the generation of different probability distributions, the simulation of possible outcomes, and the actionable insights from these simulation results.

Topics covered:

  1. Introduction to Monte Carlo simulation
  2. Modeling uncertainties (e.g., throwing dice)
  3. Predicting future scenarios (e.g., asset prices, cash flows)
  4. Pricing financial derivatives (e.g., plain vanilla options)
  5. Modeling capital budgeting decisions (e.g., project financing)
  6. Modeling wealth management solutions (e.g., portfolio optimization)
