Šimko, Marek ; Kolman, Marek (advisor) ; Leová, Simona (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on FX risk mitigation and its management in the area of commercial banks. The whole concept deals with a FX risk definition, its quantification through various VaR methods and hedging by using appropriate financial derivatives. Theoretical background is applied into a practical simulation in order to view a decision making process of an imaginary entity influenced by estimated future cash flows resulting from its own portfolio. The final output represents a complex solution of FX risk management with incorporated regulatory authorities requirements.

Szarková, Lucia ; Ducháčková, Eva (advisor) ; Oborilová, Mária (referee)
Diploma thesis Business risks in insurance and their quantification describes the business risks to which insurance companies are exposed in their activities. Thesis is focused on market risk and quantification of market risk in insurance companies. It includes determination of the specifications for the activities of insurance companies, regulation and characteric of business risks in insurance. Large part of the thesis deals with the method of Value at Risk as a tool to measure market risk as well as individual methods to calculate it. In the conclusion, thesis describes the processes of quantification of market risk in Generali PPF Holding and in Česká poisťovňa, which gives a practical insight into the issues of market risk in insurance companies.

Postupy homogenizace pojistného kmene
Hrouz, David
This diploma thesis deals with transferring the risk of a insurance company to another subject. The basic requirement is to homogenize the selected insurance portfolio. The amount of capital required is determined by identifying and quantifying the risk. Adjusted indicator of Economic value added (EVA) determines the optimal ratio of the retention and the risk transferred. There are several factors that can affect the amount of the retained risk. The main objective is to determine the amount of the optimal retention itself and select the appropriate type of reinsurance. The recommendation is based on the current development of expenses on insurance claims.

Řízení rizik v pojistné praxi
Dostálová, Tereza
The diploma thesis deals with the risk management in the insurance practice. The thesis is divided into two parts -- the literature review and the empirical part. In the first section are identified risks endangering the insurance company in their business activities. There are described arrangements risks prevention and elimination. There are also given the basic risks quantification methods. The thesis also describes the system of risk management in Solvency II directive. Basic processes, procedures and methods of the risk management in AXA insurance company are described in the empirical section. In addition is performed a quantification of risks of the selected insurer. Based on this quantification of risks and the risk management analysis, there are suggested further methods and arrangements which may lead to improved risk management for selected insurer.

Value at Risk application to FSD portfolio efficiency testing
Kopa, Miloš
The paper deals with efficiency testing of a given portfolio with respect to all other portfolios that can be created from the considered set of assets. The efficiency is based on the first order stochastic dominance (FSD) relation. A necessary and sufficient condition for the first order stochastic dominance criterion is expressed in terms of Value at Risks (VaRs). Consequently a FSD portfolio efficiency test based on VaRs is formulated. Contrary to the usual case, a general discrete distribution of portfolio returns is assumed what makes the test computationally more demanding comparing to the equiprobable scenarios case. Therefore we present a tractable reformulation of this test that turns constraints on VaRs into classical mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem.

Value at Risk: Historical simulation, variance covariance method and Monte Carlo
Felcman, Adam ; Málek, Jiří (advisor) ; Stádník, Bohumil (referee)
The diploma thesis "Value at Risk: Historical simulation, variance covariance method and Monte Carlo" aims to value the risk which real bond portfolio bears. The thesis is decomposed into two major chapters: Theoretical and Practical chapters. The first one speaks about VaR and conditional VaR theory including their advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, there are described three basic methods to calculate VaR and CVaR with adjustments to each method in order to increase the reliability of results. The last chapter brings results of VaR and CVaR computation. Many graphs, tables and images are added to the result section in order to make the outputs more visible and well-arranged.
