CORPORATE DEAD CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Makovský, Zdeněk ; Tetřevová, Liběna (advisor)
The presented doctoral thesis deals with the problems of the corporate dead capital management in the conditions of the Czech Republic. The dramatic development of the financial markets in the recent years, related mainly to the development of communications technologies and to globalization, enabled Czech companies to make easy use of the capital markets to up-value their momentarily surplus dead capital. The reason why Czech companies have not used this possibility so much so far is partly the tradition of using banking institutions, partly the historically not very developed Czech financial market, and last but not least the worries about the risk of money depreciation. This thesis deals with the optimal portfolio creation methods in the conditions of the Prague Stock Exchange, including the risk management. The theoretical part of the thesis analyses the individual segments of the financial and capital markets from different points of view and it also analyses the dead capital management risks. An independent chapter is dedicated to the stock exchange indices as prospective underlying assets for financial derivatives. The chapter then analyses the structure of PX index, which includes the most liquid Czech shares. The thesis pays substantial attention to the legal and economic analyses of the financial derivatives as possible instruments, alternatively utilizable for appreciation of the dead capital. Financial derivatives do not necessarily represent a considerably higher risk for the company than using other financial instruments if their usage is accompanied by suitable risk mitigation methods. The view of financial derivatives as a game of hazard is analysed separately. This analysis aims to avoid potential legal complications that could be connected with financial derivatives. The closing section of the theoretical part describes the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), and then it extends and modifies it for the conditions of the Prague Stock Exchange. The practical part of the thesis describes the methods of creating the optimal portfolio, which might help the company appreciate the dead capital. The procedures of creating the portfolio are verified on particular titles, including the possibility of using a financial derivative and comparison of both approaches. The conclusion outlines the prospective development of the Czech capital market.

Consolidation of the banking sector in the Czech Republic and the impact on performance of banks
Rod, Aleš ; Kadeřábková, Božena (advisor) ; Musílek, Petr (referee) ; Mejstřík, Michal (referee)
The dissertation thesis analyzes reasons for the consolidation of the banking sector in the Czech Republic, the shape of the consolidation and impact of the consolidation institution's activities on the performance of the Czech banking sector. The first part of the research deals with the reasons for consolidation, i.e. specificities of the banking sector in the Czechoslovakia before 1989 and the transformation of the banking sector during the 1990s. The factors analyzed significantly influenced the processes of disintermediation, universalization and diversification in commercial banking. The analysis of banking profitability measures, which is the second part of my dissertation thesis, employs those aspects mentioned above. The thesis concludes there was an objective necessity to consolidate the banking sector after 1990. However, the consolidation process had been influenced by both a deficient institutional environment and inflation of goals set for consolidation institutions. This generated inefficiencies related to the activities of consolidation institutions (e.g. the management of receivables and rent-seeking) and also influenced the income and profit performance measures of the banking sector in the Czech Republic.

Zestavení Portfolia a Mezinárodní diverzifikace během krize
Farský, Samuel ; Brůna, Karel (advisor) ; Pour, Jiří (referee)
Portfolio diversification is a procedure by which investor allocates and divides his or her funds into different type of securities. Unlike the investing all the funds solely into one security, diversification enables to reduce the risk of an investment by splitting one big risk into several small, unrelated risks. This master thesis examines the problem of diversification during a financial crisis, when usually the risk of an investment and uncertainty of future incomes from investment is relatively higher. The main goal of this thesis is to define whether is it more efficient and beneficial to diversify the portfolio solely from national securities or conversely to diversify internationally. In the theoretical part, it offers literature background on topics related to capital market, fundamentals of portfolio and fundamental analysis. In the empirical part it examines the risk and return of three national portfolios on monthly basis during a 10-year investment period, which is separated into three individual periods, in order to better observe the impacts of crisis. In order to fulfill the main goal of the thesis, composite international portfolio was constructed and observed on the same manner as the three national portfolios. Afterwards the outcomes were compared and conclusions were stated. Internationally diversified portfolio has not achieved remarkably better result than individual national portfolios. Therefore, it may be concluded that there is no strong need for an investor to diversify his or her portfolio internationally, as it does not show better results as nationally diversified portfolios.
