Monte carlo simulation: Brownian motion

02 Mar 2012   by Suzanne Evans

This is a classic building block for Monte Carlos simulation: Brownian motion to model a stock price. The periodic return (note the return is expressed in continuous compounding) is a function of two components: 1. constant drift, and 2. random shock; i.e., volatility multiplied by a randomized critical z value.

    I thought this is video is for CFA and has nothing to do with Monte Carlo simulation?
