Computation of rate of return of unit trust
SKŮPA, Martin
Nowadays, plenty of people are in need of computation rate of return of unit trust. This is achievable by elaborating the methodology of computation of the profitability of the unit trust, taking into account the random interest rate. Profitability of different investment strategies is compared. The comparison is accompanied by graphs. There is an explanation why using this method of investment is an excellent way for individuals to get a diversified exposure in the equity market. Subsequently an appropriate portfolio composition and a short introduction to history of common business investment strategies are mentioned. Some analyses of random interest rates done by computer programme Microsoft Excel are also shown.

Analysis and Influences of Fundamental news on Gold Prices
Kubaštová, Magdaléna ; Fičura, Milan (advisor) ; Galuška, Jiří (referee)
This master thesis, Analysis and Influences of Fundamental news on Gold Prices deals with macroeconomic variables that drive the price of gold. This paper is divided into three chapters: Possible investment forms in gold, Fundamental analysis of commodities, and lastly Analysis of impact of strong economies and their influence on gold prices. In the first chapter, emphasis is put on the Efficient Market Theory that plays an important role in success or failure of investment strategies such as technical and fundamental analysis. The second chapter illustrates the Commitment of Traders (COT) report and how it is used as a tool to predict the movement of gold prices. This chapter also discusses other large drivers effecting gold prices such as financial and geopolitical stability, inflation, interest rates, Central Banking operations, the value of the US dollar, and other influences. The final chapter analyzes the impact of announced fundamental news in the United States, China, and Europe on the price of gold. The empirical part of this paper analysis the impact of announced fundamental news in United States, China and Europe on gold prices. With the use of the linear regression method, we can test whether the macroeconomic variables significantly influence the return on gold investments immediately after their announcement, or over long periods of time. If this new public data was calculated into gold prices directly, investors would not be able to achieve additional returns by using fundamental analysis. The major findings are summed up at the end of the last chapter.
