Cielom diplomovej prace je vytvorenie expertného systému založeného na modeloch fuzzy logiky v programoch Excel a MATLAB, pomocou ktorého je možné ohodnotiť rôzne dôchodkové fondy a ďalšie finančné produkty. Vzhľadom na prehlbujúcu sa demografickú krízu, práca ponúka návrhy optimálneho investičného mixu pre tri modelové situácie s cieľom dodatočného finančného zabezpečenia počas dôchodkového veku.

For the practical part of the thesis, I chose 15 ETF funds and 10 actively managed funds. For these funds the indicators of yield, indicators of yield with risk considered and indicators of risk were calculated. The indicators of yield with risk considered are Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio and Jensen method of alfa coefficient calculation, as indicators of risk the standard deviation and Value at risk were chosen. The data used were monthly and it was set up time period of five years. Lastly, I compared the calculated values, determined if it is more beneficial to invest in ETF funds or in actively managed funds and I recommended funds for minor investor. The data used were between 2017 and the end of 2021, so its development was affected by the Covid-19 epidemic that negatively affected prices of securities and by that also funds that trade with these securities.

Do mutual funds offered in Czech Republic add value to investors?
Nosek, Jiří ; Hronec, Martin (advisor) ; Jakubík, Petr (referee)
We estimate the proportions of skilled, unskilled, and zero-alpha funds preva- lent in the mutual Funds population easily accessible by Czech Investors. We estimate alphas from a regression against a concise set of Exchange Traded Funds and control for luck using False Discovery rate. We design a straight- forward ETF selection algorithm and find that if investors adhere to simple diversification rules, they can outperform a large proportion of mutual funds. We further document a negative relationship between the performance of mu- tual funds and its Total Expense ratio, suggesting that portfolio managers are on average unable to compensate their costs with better performance.

Comparison of investments for retirement
SUCHÁŇOVÁ, Markéta
The aim of this thesis was to choose some types of investments and set the expected return using time series; furthermore to compare these possibilities using multi-dimensional assessment. I chose four types of investments, namely: mutual funds, life insurance, additional pension savings and building savings. I expected a monthly deposit of 1000 CZK for a period of 20 years in my thesis. In case the investor would keep this money cash or on a bank account, where he would not have to pay account fees and have a zero interest rate, he would save 240 000 CZK during this period. Based on published historical returns I modeled the expected return of the investment by means of methods of time series. For modeling the return I used the model of linear trend. The highest revaluation is expected with the additional pension savings, where the dynamic strategy brings the overall return of 414 214 CZK, the balanced strategy 379 874 CZK and the conservative strategy 333 209 CZK. The investment into mutual funds using conservative strategy brings 317 894 CZK, using balanced strategy brings the return of 314 986 CZK. When choosing the conservative strategy of life insurance the overall return is 296 071 CZK and when choosing the balanced strategy it is 292 614 CZK. The expected return of the building saving is 286 139 CZK. However, it is not recommended to opt for an investment only based on the expected return. We have to take into consideration as well the risk of the investment, input one-time fee and the overall fee (monthly or annual fees). For this reason I determined the category of the above mentioned criteria, which I set using scoring method. For the determination of the order I chose the TOPSIS method and the scoring method. Based on the carried out above methods it is certain that the best investment is investing in additional pension savings.
