This thesis is focused on a theoretical explication of the basic methods of the calculation Value at Risk for the market and credit risk. For the market risk there is in detail developed the variance -- covariance method, historical simulation and Monte Carlo simulation, above all for the nonlinear portfolio. For all methods the assumptions of their applications are highlighted and the comparation of these methods is made too. For the credit risk there is made a theoretical description of CreditMetrics, CreditRisk+ and KMV models. Analytical part is concerned in the quantification of Value at Risk on two portfolios, namely nonlinear currency portfolio, which particular assumptions of the variance -- covariance method a Monte Carlo simulation are tested on. Then by these methods the calculation of Value at Risk is realized. The calculation of Credit Value at Risk is made on the portfolio of the US corporate bonds by the help of CreditMetrics model.

Potenciál futures na index PX
Kubík, Jan ; Málek, Jiří (advisor) ; Witzany, Jiří (referee)
Tato práce srovnává první český burzovně obchodovaný termínový kontrakt, futures na index PX, s dalšími světovými futures kontrakty a analyzuje potenciál úspěšnosti tohoto kontraktu. Tento základ je doplněn informacemi o dalším vývoji a emisích na českém trhu burzovních derivátů. Dále práce shrnuje základní teoretické a praktické znalosti o futures na index se zaměřením na český trh a jeho vývoj. Nejvíce prostoru je věnováno regresní analýze objemů obchodování u futures na index PX a dalších osmi indexových kontraktů v závislosti na čase. Cílem je nalézt standardní regresní funkci, která by popisovala vývoj této závislosti u úspěšných termínových kontraktů na index. Výsledná funkce je následně porovnána s vývojem tohoto atributu právě u futures na index PX. Tato analýza je doplněna podobnou studií u dalších čtyř velice úspěšných futures kontraktů s jiným podkladovým aktivem než je index. Analyzován je také vývoj objemů obchodvání u nově emitovanými futures na akcie společností ČEZ a Erste Bank.
