Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) Simulator
GBM models asset prices as:
$$dS_t = \mu S_t dt + \sigma S_t dW_t$$
where μ = drift, σ = volatility, W = Wiener process.
Interpretation
- GBM assumes continuous compounding with drift μ and volatility σ.
- Simulations provide probabilistic distribution of asset prices and returns.
- Useful for Monte Carlo pricing, VaR, and scenario analysis.
Key Assumptions
- Continuous paths (no jumps).
- Constant drift μ and volatility σ.
- Random shocks are normally distributed and independent.
- No arbitrage, frictionless market.
