Numerical Techniques in Finance:
3 days


Numerical Techniques focuses on the theory and application of numerical methods for solving financial problems. The applications may include option valuation, value at risk, term structure modelling, portfolio simulation and optimization and capital budgeting. These applications motivate the study of matrix methods, the solutions of linear and nonlinear equations, interpolation and approximation methods, numerical integration and Monte Carlo methods. No prior programming experience is required as the principles of programming are covered. Topics include the use of Microsoft Excel at an advanced level, including the use of inbuilt functions and data modelling tools such as Goalseek and Solver; programming in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, including the writing of functions and subroutines, interface design and output generation; computer accuracy, stability and convergence; interpolation and approximation procedures; methods of numerical search, Monte Carlo methods; numerical integration techniques; and solution methods for systems of equations. Applications include models of the term structure of interest rates, option pricing, valuation of bond options, implied option volatility, the dynamics of portfolio insurance programmes, portfolio simulation, portfolio optimisation, the composition of stock plus warrant packages of known value, determination of internal rates of return, and capital budgeting.
