Visualize potential future stock price paths with Monte Carlo simulations based on historical returns and volatility.
This webpage is designed to help users simulate potential future values of an investment based on historical performances using, Monte Carlo method and Real Index Return methods. By inputting initial investment amounts, number of years and max simulations to run, and other parameters, users can visualize a range of possible outcomes to better plan for retirement.
The withdrawal options provided in this tool help users customize their retirement planning strategies by allowing them to simulate different withdrawal scenarios. This can be critical for understanding how various withdrawal strategies impact the longevity and sustainability of their retirement savings.
Type | Description | Use Case |
---|---|---|
Monte Carlo | Generates random scenarios based on expected return and volatility. Average Historical Return and Historical Volatility represent typical values based on past performance of the S&P 500. The average return gives an idea of what investors might expect to earn annually, while volatility indicates how much returns can fluctuate. | Best for understanding the range of possible outcomes given specific market assumptions. |
Rolling Returns | Uses historical data to simulate future returns based on past performance periods. | Useful for seeing how investments might perform based on actual historical patterns. |
Round Robin Rolling Returns | Similar to Rolling Returns, but cycles through historical data to create more diverse scenarios. It loops through years, allowing for more paths even with limited data. | Provides a broader range of historical scenarios, useful for stress-testing portfolios. |
Random Real Returns | Randomly selects individual year returns from historical data to create scenarios. | Helps in understanding potential outcomes based on a mix of historical yearly performances. |
