Algorithmic fundamental trading
Pižl, Vojtěch ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Bubák, Vít (referee)
This thesis aims to apply methods of value investing into developing field of algorithmic trading. Firstly, we investigate the effect of several fundamental variables on stock returns using the fixed effects model and portfolio approach. The results confirm that size and book- to-market ratio explain some variation in stock returns that market alone do not capture. Moreover, we observe a significant positive effect of book-to-market ratio and negative effect of size on future stock returns. Secondly, we try to utilize those variables in a trading algorithm. Using the common performance evaluation tools we test several fundamentally based strategies and discover that investing into small stocks with high book-to-market ratio beats the market in the tested period between 2009 and 2015. Although we have to be careful with conclusions as our dataset has some limitations, we believe that there is a market anomaly in the testing period which may be caused by preference of technical strategies over value investing by market participants.

Quality Investing: Combining the Gross Profitability with the Free Cash Flow Yield
Dopita, Jiří ; Brushko, Iuliia (advisor) ; Soudek, Jan (referee)
This thesis examined the predictive power of different strategies for future stock returns. The analysis was conducted using a data sample of 3976 firms traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ during a 29 year time horizon, from July 1986 to June 2015. Predictive powers of different strategies were also tested during three sub-periods and during bull and bear markets using both long-only and long/short portfolios to check whether the predictive power is robust. It was found that the FCF yield is a better indicator of future stock returns than the gross profitability. The difference between average monthly returns was significant during all tested time periods and market situations using both long-only and long/short portfolios. The newly introduced FCF profitable value strategy proved to be a better predictor of future stock returns than the profitable value strategy. The FCF profitable value strategy presents also an improvement over the FCF yield strategy. It was found that the FCF profitable value has a better predictive power for future stock returns than the FCF yield at least during some time periods or market situations.

Analysis of the systematic risk and its influence in value investing
Mikláš, Antonín ; Pošta, Vít (advisor) ; Pivoňka, Tomáš (referee)
This Bachelor´s Thesis deals with analysis of systematic risk and its influence in value investing. Theoretical part of the thesis explains components of valuation based on discounted cash flow model. This part is focused mainly on beta from CAPM model which measures relation between given asset and systematic risk. Practical part begins with calculation of macroeconomic variables needed for company valuation. Then, combining the different stock market indices and using the least squares method, beta of the companies CEZ and Philip Morris CR is calculated. Valuation of these companies is made in the final part of the thesis accompanied with sensitivity analysis, which examines the influence of beta on internal value of a share.
