Filonau, Ilya ; Kalabiška, Roman (advisor) ; Kukačka, Jiří (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis is to take an insight into the world of investment during unstable economic times based on the example of the selected country, Germany. The thesis seeks to analyze the performance of five different investment options, real estate, REIT, Stock market, Gold and Bitcoin, and compare them, while identifying the most important macroeconomic factors influencing the value of the investment options. The methodology of the diploma thesis is represented by a time series analysis based on the time period between the first quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, the technique of econometric estimation is applied, where, in total, six models are created. In the end, it is concluded that gold is the most superior investment choice, while the least attractive one is the REIT Index, representing indirect real estate investment due to its relatively unstable nature and unpredictability.
