Investment funds are growing in Malaysia since people are more knowledgeable about
investments and aware of investment opportunities in order to secure good savings for the
future. These investments include unit trusts, gold, fixed deposits, stock prices and property
investments. It is essential for individuals or organisations to know the value of future share
prices of their investment portfolio in order to predict the profit or loss in the future. The
purpose of study is to identify the best duration of historical data and forecast days in order
to accurately forecast share prices. The study uses Geometric Brownian Motion model in
forecasting share prices of companies in Bursa Malaysia. This study focused on 40 listed
companies in Bursa Malaysia from the top gainers list. It was found that 65 historical days
could forecast the share prices for 21 days accurately.
