Creation of an Investment Portfolio Based on the Economic Results of the Issuers
Kotas, Daniel ; CFA, Daniel Gladiš, MBA, (referee) ; Ptáček, Roman (advisor)
The main goal of this thesis is an evaluation of executive management in public companies in regards to their ability to allocate excess cash as well as their ability to manage said companies in order to build and mantain competetive advantages as means of estabilishing dominant market position and generating above-average profit, together with quantitative evaluation using methods of financial analysis and corporate finance in order to evaluate financial stability, effectivity and rentability of these companies as well as estimating the value of these companies in comparison to the market price of their shares in order to determine, whether a company can be considered a value investment and whether it will be elligible for incorporating the shares into a value portfolio. This thesis is then divided into two parts-theoretical basis of the thesis and practical part, whereas the theoretical basis revolves around researching practical procedures as well as theoretical knowledge in the field of value investing and financial markets in order to establish unified framework for applying mentioned principles. Beforehand defined value investing principles are used in the practical part of the thesis. Therefore, in the practical part, we evaluate three public companies- Apple, Inc. NIKE, Inc. a The Estee Lauder Companies, Inc. pursuing a goal of estimating their fair value and determine, whether they are eligible for being incorporated into a value portfolio.

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.
