| STOCK ANALYSIS | Users can screen & value exchange traded stocks. Specify estimation period & market index for beta computation and projected return. Valuation models are: (1) Constant Growth, (2) Super Growth, & (3) Unequal Dividends. Output compared with market price & future cash flows graphed. |
|
| | PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS | Users can back test a portfolio and validate its performance with life-of-portfolio analysis. Index adjusted and raw returns along with total risk and beta are presented. Risk return tradeoff module analyzes portfolio efficiency (Sharpe ratio) and graphs feasible portfolios for exchange traded stocks. |
|
| | RISK ANALYSIS | Users can view the risk of loss (probability) for a single stock or a portfolio with the help of a normal distribution using parametric VAR. Parameters are estimated by the software for exchange traded stocks. Portfolio VAR can be decomposed by stock. |
|
| | OPTION ANALYSIS | Users can value exchange-listed and non-traded options, estimate implied volatility for traded options and conduct Monte-Carlo simulations (simulation VAR) for options to assess non-linear risks. European, American, and binomial models are available. |
|
| | PERFORMANCE EVALUATION | Users can estimate time- (geometrically-) weighted returns for portfolios and benchmark against an index. IPO datasets can be created and analyzed for issue-date performance with cumulative excess returns. Similarly, other corporate events can be analyzed for announcement effects. |
