Development of Structured Financial Products during the Crisis
Bratršovský, Martin ; Rippel, Milan (advisor) ; Lupusor, Adrian (referee)
Structured finance has already attracted trillions of dollars and despite significant losses continues to attract more investment in increasingly complex structures. In this thesis, I use new data available to analyze the development of structured products in three main categories: ABS, CDO and MBS. The thesis is focused on the rapid development of structured finance in the years leading up to the credit crunch, the extent of its role in the crisis, and how credit-rating agencies and regulatory bodies are involved in the feasibility and future potential of the main products. As data clearly showed, the recent crisis heavily hit the US non-agency MBS securitization (especially the RMBS and the CMBS market) and the global CDO market as well, mainly due to the subprime collateral.

Valuation of Structured Products
Dohnálek, Jan ; Brada, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kováč, Michal (referee)
The objective of the thesis is to acquaint readers with field of structured product valuation. It is a relatively complex issue which is, however, based on general valuation foundations. The opening chapter is dedicated to these general fundamentals of valuation. Emphasis is placed mainly on present value principle, a specific variant of comparison, and its related aspects. The second section describes key elements of structured product valuation. Greater part of this chapter is devoted to the Monte Carlo simulation, the most employed tool in valuation of these products in practice. An important part of Monte Carlo simulation is an option spread, which arises as by-product of the simulation and reflects value of an option contained in the evaluated instrument. Third chapter is focused on interest rate and prepayment models. Level of prepayment is dependent on interest rates development which both are the most critical factors that affect value of structured products. Description of models includes theoretical and mathematical formulation as well as mentioning their advantages and disadvantages. Valuation model is illustrated in the last part, which is demonstrated on valuation of hypothetical structured products example. Based on the model, the development of cash flows from underlying asset portfolio is forecasted which in turn determines the value of evaluated instruments. The final section deals with advantages of structured products and, hence, why banks and other institutions use them in practice.

Use of structured products in risk management
Otřísalová, Ivana ; Taušer, Josef (advisor) ; Plchová, Božena (referee)
Currently, the companies are exposed to many kinds of risk during the business, especially in case of activities which are overlapping the frontiers of inland market. Risk-aversive businessmen tend to minimize or even eliminate those risks so that they use different types of hedging instruments. The derivatives are a good choice but they are not able to meet all clients' needs sufficiently in their classic simple form at present. That is the reason for rise of their new combinations and modifications which are so-called "tailor-made" for each company separately. The purpose of this paper is to create the compact overview about those "second generation" products and show the interest and currency risk hedging options.
