Monte Carlo Simulation

The gold standard for portfolios with non-linear instruments (options, swing contracts). Simulates thousands of random price paths to generate a probability distribution of returns.

Historical Simulation

"What if the past repeats itself?" Applies actual historical price movements to your current portfolio. Ideal for capturing "fat tail" events and market crashes.

Parametric (Variance-Covariance)

A lightning-fast approximation assuming normal distribution. Perfect for quick intra-day checks on linear portfolios (swaps, futures).
