Computational Finance
Import and analyze financial data, develop models for risk and economic systems,
manage investments, and price complex instruments
MATLAB® products for computational finance enable you to develop quantitative applications for investment and risk management, econometrics, pricing and valuation, insurance, and algorithmic trading. By writing only a few lines of code, you can:
Chart historical and live market data.
Analyze time series data and create predictive models.
Model interest rates and perform sensitivity analyses.
Optimize a portfolio and perform risk attribution.
Develop quantitative models to optimize performance and minimize risk.
