MATLAB® and the Financial Toolbox provide a complete integrated computing
environment for financial analysis and engineering. The toolbox has
everything you need to perform mathematical and statistical analysis of
financial data and display the results with presentation-quality graphics. You
can quickly ask, visualize, and answer complicated questions.
In traditional or spreadsheet programming you must deal with all sorts of
housekeeping details: declaring, data typing, sizing, etc. MATLAB does all that
for you. You just write expressions the way you think of problems. And there’s
no need to switch tools, convert files, or rewrite applications.With MATLAB and the Financial Toolbox, you can:
Compute and analyze prices, yields, and sensitivities for derivatives and
other securities, and for portfolios of securities.
Perform Securities Industry Association (SIA) compatible fixed-income
pricing, yield, and sensitivity analysis.
Analyze or manage portfolios.
Design and evaluate hedging strategies.
Identify, measure, and control risk.
Analyze and compute cash flows, including rates of return and depreciation
streams.
Analyze and predict economic activity.
Create structured financial instruments, including foreign-exchange
instruments.
Teach or conduct academic research.
