Bibliographic Record JÍLEK, Jiří. European Real Estate Investment Trusts: Analyzing Correlation with a DCC- GARCH Model. Prague, 2012. 50 p. Master thesis (Mgr.) Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Economic Studies. Supervisor: Tomáš Jandík MA MSc MRICS. Abstract The main goal of this thesis is to study the interdependencies between returns of European real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other investment asset classes such as European equities, government bonds and commodities. The thesis is divided into two parts: in the first part, we describe the necessary background that led to the emergence of first REIT structures and also provide an overview of the European REITs market. In the second part, we apply the Dynamic Conditional Correlation GARCH (DCC-GARCH) model to examine correlations between the above mentioned asset classes. The general understanding of real estate is that it provides diversification benefits to a diversified portfolio. However, our results suggest that returns of European REITs and stocks show a relatively high correlation and more importantly, the correlation increases in time. These findings have significant implications for investors and portfolio managers who seek protection for their portfolios in time of market downturns. Our results...

Nenadál, Petr ; Marek, Petr (advisor) ; Makovec, Martin (referee)
The thesis is aimed to describe and approach the REIT practice that is, especially in the U. S. very enhanced. In the first part, general parameters of real estate investment trusts are introduced and understated in connection with the depiction of the advantages and disadvantages of this issue. In chronological sequence, the development and progress of the U. S. real estate market is approached. The thesis further undertakes the current subject of the global financial crisis with a special focus on the REIT involvement and the potential application of the new EU directive - AIFMD (Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive). This directive is expected to harmonize the joint investments. The objective of the thesis is a detailed description and specification of REIT in selected developed countries (U. S., Western Europe, and Australia) followed by a comparation of these regimes and an analysis of the considerable real estate investment companies in the Czech Republic including the financial analysis of the public joint-stock companies. A development of Czech real estate market during the mortgage crisis is also depicted and a market forecast is prognosed. The thesis concludes potential restraints of the REIT legal introduction in the Czech Republic as this corporative type has not been lawfully validated there.
