Help for new User

Damien Mc Caughley
Hi,

Really impressed with the project, so I have started trying to implement / work through the example sheets.

Firstly Im using Excel 2010 and seem to be missing the menu from earlier examples, anyway to get this?

Secondly a lot of the examples refuse to work / work intermittenly on my computer. I dont know whether this is due to not having run the serilization option first (it seems to fix some errors when open, but without the menu I cant see how to run the serialization example).

I really want to test out the project fully but it is a steep learning curve. Ideally I am trying to use the yield curve bootstrapping example to build a few emerging market yield curves (I have data for). So I also need to figure out how to add new currencies (or setup currencies). I am very well versed on yield curve construction, so its just the techical implementation I am struggling with.

My final aim is to get something like hte EUR_YC3M_Monitor for EM, but sadly this sheet returns only #VALUE on my computer.

Any help or guiding steps greatly received.

Thanks,
Damien

May I ask, about the features/functions you have discussed, are they all available only for windows platform?  Or we can test and/or use those features on Linux/Unix as well?  Thanks.

I am using purely quantlibxl in excel 2010.

It installs fine, but some of the demo worksheets do not work properly / I'm missing some part of the setup.

I have no idea about Linux, but my initial application will be in excel.

I do not find the installer for QuantLibXL-v1.1.0.  So may I ask, what is the recommended way of building QuantLibXL’s trunk source?  Thanks.

How to use QuantLib in Portfolio Analysis

YuHong-4
 
Some friends are doing portfolio analysis recently, and they are considering
using Matlab-like tools.  May I ask, can QuantLib be used in portfolio
analysis, and how in general?  Thanks!

Regards,

Hong Yu

What instruments are they working on? Simple equity and funds or derivative instruments.

Re: How to use QuantLib in Portfolio Analysis

YuHong-4
 
Specifically, my friends are trying to use Matlab to plot the capital market
line in portfolio analysis theory. And they asked how to complete
the following code in Matlab:

NumPorts = 10000;
frontcon(ExpReturn, ExpCovariance, NumPorts);
RisklessRate = 0.043274
BorrowRate = NaN
RiskAversion = []
portalloc (PortRisk, PortReturn, PortWts, RisklessRate, BorrowRate,
RiskAversion);
 
Since this involves plotting, I also contacted some other open source project which might be closer to Matlab.  However, it will be very interesting to explore how QuantLib may be applied to various quant-finance related questions.  Thanks.

No, there's no portfolio functionality at this time.

The Excel module is, of course, only available on Windows.  However, the
QuantLibAddin project had an OpenOffice module as well.  I don't know in
what state it is at this time.
