Volatility is a measure of the level of uncertainty about the future of stock price.\u00a0 Volatility estimation is a fundamental aspect of modern financial analysis and investment strategy formulation, security valuation, risk management and monetary policy making.\u00a0 It determines the implementation and evaluation of asset and derivative pricing, which has a major input valuation of options in corporate and public liabilities.\u00a0 The initial estimation of volatility of an asset, by Black-Scholes was assumed to be a constant throughout the duration of a derivative.\u00a0 However, the discontinuous nature of asset pricing led to Merton developing a Merton Jump model as a better estimate of prices in a precise way.\u00a0 Thereafter, models have been developed to include more information and better the Mertons’ Jump model; which included Verhults Logistic equation, the logistic Geometric Brownian Motion with jump diffusion, among others.\u00a0 Existing models fall short of developing a model incorporating the dividend yields, Logistic aspect and jump diffusion at once.\u00a0 This necessitated the development of a model that incorporated dividend yields; which is a reality in most companies do to its members, the jump diffusion, and the Logistic aspect. The model developed was used it to estimate volatility.\u00a0 Analysis was done using Geometric Brownian Motion(GBM), Logistic Brownian Motion (LBM), It\u00f4s process, It\u00f4s lemma, Jump diffusion models, Fokker-Plancks’ equation and Dupire’s volatility equation.\u00a0 Analysis of Variance was too used; graphs and statistical tables were used show volatility estimates between the model developed and other models. Using mathematical software STATA, data from Nairobi Security Exchange was analysed.\u00a0 Comparative analysis between the developed model and other models; Black Scholes model, European Logistic Brownian Motion model, European Logistic Brownian Motion with jump diffusion process model, and found out that, it gave the lowest volatility meaning that it is the best when estimating volatility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
