Great video. You may directly create a multivariate distribution. And it’s always better to use e.g. a Student t Distribution with EWMA in order to estimate the covariance matrix. Otherwise you’re model is going to produce too many overshoots

Nice video with clear sound and good visuals. I'm not sure it's for you, but how would you feel about improving the algorithm by moving the Cholesky calculation out of the loop? It only needs to be calculated once, right?

Great suggestion. Yes the lower triangular matrix for the cholesky composition can be moved above and out of the loop.

Hi PyQuant! May I know is it possible to simulate stock prices using the same technique? In this video you assume the returns follows multivariate normal distribution and then do the Monte Carlo simulation for returns.

Great video! With the function to create random weights for the portfolio, is there a way to alter it to make minimum weights? Also, what if I want to run a Monte Carlo on a portfolio where I already know the weights and don't want to generate random weights?

@QuantPy 2 года назад

Please note that I’m not optimising the weights of this portfolio. I’m just assigning random weights once. You can replace that line with you individual weights in a list / numpy array.👍

@jeromeordona7549 2 года назад

If you want to specify your weights, you could make an array that has the same length as the number of stocks but just manually enter the weights. Just make sure the weights add up to 1. IE: weights=[.2, .2, .2, .1, .1, .2]

What's the point of complicating matters by throwing in abstractions/ indirections such as covariance matrix and cholesky decomposition, when we can just simulate portfolio returns by calculating cumprod of weighted stock returns directly?

Cool video and walk-through. However, how do I make sense of the cool line chart with all simulation paths? The portfolio values in 100 days can be 4000 or 19000 for example. What is the chart telling me in terms of insights? Or would a histogram be more appropriate where we can at least see the buckets and frequency?

@helio7478 2 года назад

Nice video! Two quick questions tho: 1) the length of the cov matrix is len(weights) x len(weights), right? so why the inner product (L,Z) works? should it not be inner(Z,L) since Z is (T,len(weights)? And therefore meanM can be (T, len(weights)) and not the transpose of that... 2) Why is it necessary to sum the mean in the calculation of the daily returns? Couldn't I just use the inner product?

@helio7478 2 года назад

the second question I just checked is to make the new synthetic time series have the same mean as the original. If I don't do this I get a matrix with the same covariance but not the same mean. Do we want them to have the same mean as well?

@Tyokok 11 дней назад

Hi QuanPy, thanks for the great video! One question do you have any detailed explain or recommended material for the portfolio return at the t, the formula you show up on the right upper corner from 11:35? I know single stock Brownian Motion, but I am not following why portfolio return is in that form and why use timeseries mean return as level. Also should it depend on t as well as BM? Many Thanks!

@raining1975 5 месяцев назад

I am trying to create a retirement calculator for myself and one thing I would like to do is compare Roth Vs Traditional but for example with Roth IRA vs Trad IRA, you can't compare 6500 Roth vs 6500 Trad, you have to compare 6500 Roth vs 6500 Trad + Investing the difference into a brokerage ($6500 Roth vs $6500 Trad + $X in brokerage). I can kind of figuring out what X is by calculating take home with 6500 Trad and subtracting what the take home is for 6500 Roth, the problem is that most index funds have a dividend component. That doesn't matter in an IRA but that $X that would be in a brokerage would have you paying taxes on those dividends which would mess up the calculations. I would need to figure out what the taxes are on those dividends to make it so that the usable income is identical in both examples that I am comparing. I can figure out the taxes for LTCG on qualified dividends but I am not sure how to calculate how much of a dividend you get over time. Do you know of any good videos or articles on anything related to calculating dividends in python?

Is there a way to adapt the monte carlo simulation when there is a dynamic allocation of the portfolio. In much simpler words: I change the stocks in the portfolio with a weekly frequence following certain algorithms (technical, etc.) Is it possible to construct a code that can read the stocks in portfolio and calculate the max potential loss every week? Thanks for attention

@QuantPy 2 года назад

Yes this is possible, honestly if you can define what you’d like to do, you can almost certainly implement a solution. Feel free to adjust the code as needed. Good luck

You’ve typed stockData=stockData[‘Close’] incorrectly, you placed a capital letter on StockData. Python variables are case sensitive. My advice, read the error message and work through the code line by line next time 👍 good luck

@georgelampropoulos6642 3 года назад

Great attempt! In your video you don't mention anything about volatility. Have you made any specific assumptions on this matter?

@QuantPy 3 года назад

Yes, we’ve made a significant assumption about volatility. The covariance matrix is where this comes in. By computing the historical covariance matrix using past stock data, we are assuming that the stock returns will follow these correlations and volatility with respect to each other, into the future.

@andreaardemagni6401 10 месяцев назад

I have a doubt. Once you compute daily returns your portfolio weights change. Your code assume weights are constant and that doesn’t sound right to me. In other words, if a stock daily returns on any given day jump about 10% (extreme example) then its weight at the end of that day will be greater than the one at the beginning of the day. Thoughts?

@dnb_finance 10 месяцев назад

The weights are the weights of each stock in your portfolio, for example if you have 100 dollars total, 2 stocks, and the weights on those stocks are 0.5 and 0.5 you will have 50 dollars allocated to each stock.
