With this purpose, volatility and distribution percentile of changes in the value of the portfolio are analyzed. Stochastic volatity at a given time is also analyzed. With this purpose, variances, and co-variance methods. Historic simulation and Monte Carlo simulation from a formal and extended perspective to portfolios containing financial options are taken into consideration, establishing alternative of calculation and comparison between the results.
