Stochastic methods in portfolio management

This master thesis aims to describe and apply in practice solutions of basic tasks in portfolio management- portfolio optimization, portfolio modelling and risk management. As value of financial assets in future is a random variable, it is necessary to use mathematic tools resulting from probability theory and statistics. Basic terms from this area are for example stochastic Wiener process or geometric Brownian motion, which are described in first part of this thesis. Next parts of thesis describe the Markowitz model or method Value at Risk. In the last part of thesis is application of calculation VaR using Monte Carlo simulation for stock portfolio constructed as optimal portfolio according to Markowitz model from real data
