Abstract

This paper studied the stochastic analysis of stock market expected returns for investors. The detailed conditions for obtaining the drifts, volatilities and variances of four different stocks were considered. We compared the variances of four different stocks using our criteria for selection and the result showed that stock (1) is the best among the stocks of different companies, which is in agreement with the work of Ofomata et al. From the stochastic analysis of the model, systems of non-linear ordinary differential equations were developed by means of covariance matrix on the stochastic part of the expected returns of investors while the deterministic part a function of the drift parameter as a column vector. We imposed a constraint that led the drift parameter to zero and working with the stochastic part of the equation by exploring correlation matrix solution. This way, a statistical goodness of fit was proposed.
