Financial Derivatives in Praxis
Dalekorejová, Petra ; Sedlák, Petr (referee) ; Sojka, Zdeněk (advisor)
The subject of the Master thesis „Financial Derivatives in Praxis“ is the analysis of the all kinds of financial derivates.The first part of the thesis deals with the general description of the derivates. In the next part of the thesis analysis of individual spices of derivates and their dividing into interest rate derivates and currency derivates is made. The final, practical part of the thesis, is devoted to the practical using of derivates in the hedging interest rate and currency risk on specific examples of companies and the offer of hedging on the Czech financial market.

Interest Rate Risk Analysis by Principal Component Method
Myšičková, Ivana ; Houfková, Lucia (advisor) ; Prášková, Zuzana (referee)
Presented study analyzes interest rate risk associated with the possession of given fixed coupon bond. In the first chapter, we define some of the basic concepts and provide description of available data. These are historical data on spot interest rates of zero-coupon bonds for various times to maturity which will be used for the construction of the yield curves. Based on these bond yield curves we evaluate the bond, thus obtaining a picture of the evolution of its price. Later on, we try to estimate its price tomorrow. We present two approaches how to deal with this problem. First approach is the normal interest rate risk analysis based on duration and convexity, second approach is the method of principal components which will be applied to the historical daily changes in yield curves. The method of principal components is introduced in detail.

Asset Liability Management ve stavební spořitelně
Konečný, Pavel
Konečný P. Asset Liability Management in building society. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2018. This bachelor thesis deals with Asset Liability Management in the building society. The theoretical part analyses the current approaches of asset and liability management in the specific environment of building society. Thesis describes methodology for measuring and managing interest rate risk and liquidity risk. In the analytical part of the thesis are created interest and liquidity gap analysis from data of the analysed building society. Interest rate risk is then further measured by BPV and NII methods. LCR and NSFR requirements are calculated for measuring liquidity risk. The solution of the building society is subsequently tested by the interest and liquid stress scenarios. Formula clause:Proposal to postpone the publication of the bachelor thesis

Portfolio management dluhopisových portfolií v dobách nízkých úrokových sazeb
Grulichová, Olga
The aim of this thesis is to introduce bond portfolio management along with minimization of interest rate risk. The theoretical framework is dedicated to bonds, yield curve, Markowitz portfolio theory and portfolio management which also presents examples of active and passive strategies. The practical part focuses on portfolio bond modelling. The difference between created portfolios is caused by their composition as different combinations of corporate and state bonds are used. To achieve the aim of this thesis a simulation of fictitious market change is implemented, using interest rate decrease and increase while observing its impact on created portfolios. As a conclusion, best portfolio recommended for investors is chosen based on maximizing yield and minimizing interest rate risk.

Hedging of a bond portfolio
Kolář, Adam ; Stádník, Bohumil (advisor) ; Kábrt, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to describe, apply and subsequently analyse the effectiveness of several hedging strategies used when cross-hedging a bond portfolio with futures contracts. The theoretical part of this work is devoted to a general description of characteristics of bonds and futures and, also to basic knowledge of interest rate risk hedging. In the empirical part of this thesis, a bond portfolio is complied, utilising market data, and subsequently it is secured with futures contracts using three different hedging strategies. At the end of the practical part, the effectiveness of each applied strategy is compared. The results of the empirical analysis support, that using the applied strategies when cross-hedging a bond portfolio with futures contracts is in most cases effective.

Building Societies in Low Interest Rate Environment
Hanzlík, Petr ; Džmuráňová, Hana (advisor) ; Baniar, Matúš (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the impact of low interest rate environment in the Czech Republic in recent years on the sector of building societies as a specific segment of the financial market. First part of the thesis consists of description of main characteristics of building savings and building societies, e.g. their historical development, with special focus on main types of risk the building societies face. In the second part the impact of changing market interest rate on outstanding volumes of deposits in building societies is analysed. The analysis is conducted through simple time series models estimated by OLS. Final part includes comparison of demand for building savings loans with demand for mortgages as well as consideration of the development of profitability of the sector of building societies in recent years.

Risk management of savings accounts
Džmuráňová, Hana ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Lebovič, Michal (referee)
This thesis deals with the risk management of savings accounts. Savings accounts are non- maturing liabilities bearing two embedded options. The first option is the client's right to withdraw deposits on notice. The second option is a bank's right to change the deposit rate on savings accounts whenever it wishes. This in practice means that a fierce competition may arise as banks can quickly react to competitor's change in the deposit rate. The embedded characteristics make the risk management of savings accounts challenging. We identify five key risks of savings accounts: liquidity risk, market risk (interest rate risk), systemic risk, reputational risk, and model risk. The thesis focuses on the interest rate risk and the method of replicating portfolios, which is a standard technique of the estimation of non-maturing liabilities' interest rate risk employed by banks. Using replicating portfolio approach, we derive that savings accounts are risky liabilities. We provide evidence that high deposit rates offered on numerous savings accounts in the Czech Republic have not been consistent with low market rates since January 2012, at least. We show that unsustainable deposit rates combined with competition among banks will lead to capital losses in some banks when market rates increase. JEL...

Interest rate risk measurement and management in theory and practise
Stará, Pavla ; Pečená, Magda (advisor) ; Patáková, Magdalena (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the risk management in a bank, notably, on the interest rate risk measurement and management. For banks it is important to know the level of risk exposure and according to that to select appropriate management strategy that will minimize adverse fluctuations in bank's profitability. The thesis summarizes the basic models used for measurement, whereas we find out that none of them is perfect and their functionality is conditional upon various assumptions. Furthermore, it deals with analyzing selected basic instruments used for interest rate risk management, which implies that the management process is complex. The usage of various instruments may expose the bank to additional risks. Therefore, it is not possible under the effort to successful management to focus exclusively on the interest rate risk, however, it is necessary to analyze the other risks at the same time. The case study is aimed at the estimation of interest rate risk exposure on the basis of provided GAP analysis. There are three calculation methods presented, although the third one was not possible to apply due to lack of data. Regarding that the obtained results contain just estimates, the final calculations might be affected.
