Investment asset management comparable to fund management
Pivko, Petr ; Kohajda, Michael (advisor) ; Sejkora, Tomáš (referee)
4 Investment asset management comparable to fund management Abstract This thesis concerns the analysis of the legal regulation of the functioning of mini-funds, or persons according to Section 15 of Act No. 240/2013 Coll., on Investment Companies and Investment Funds. These are entities that can manage investment assets without requiring the relevant public authorisation granted by the Czech National Bank. The essence of their existence is the fact that they fulfil some of the characteristics of investment funds, although they are not investment funds. The popularity of the use of this institute in the context of collective investment escalated during the pandemic of the Covid-19 disease. In my thesis I analyse the rights and obligations linked with this management, the legal relations towards investors and also towards the Czech National Bank. The thesis consists of several parts, namely an introduction of the European legislation on which the Czech legislation is based, and the most important part, both in terms of its scope and significance, containing a description and analysis of the Czech legislation. The thesis also includes research on the domestic mini-fund market, where data representing a part of the market are presented and provide insight into, for example, how much assets mini-funds represent...

Is ESG a resiliency factor for company stock returns during a crisis? Evidence from Europe during the covid-19 pandemic
Krameš, David ; Novák, Jiří (advisor) ; Kurka, Josef (referee)
The goal of this thesis was to examine whether high ESG performance serves as a resiliency factor for company stock returns during times of crisis. Using a DID estimator for 3 different regions and treatment timings, I find that high ESG performance did serve as a resiliency factor for company stock returns in the short term during the covid-19 pandemic, with high-ESG firms having 1.125-4.785% higher stock excess log returns compared to low-ESG firms over a 15 day period. This is probably a result of their lower perceived riskiness. I also find this effect is primarily driven by the S pillar and for European companies, by firms belonging to the Financial and Healthcare industries. In the long term, I find that the effect reverses and ESG becomes a negative factor, which I believe is caused by investors starting to seek riskier investments again. Finally, for European and American firms, I find the effect of a high score in the G pillar is negative even in normal times.

KARAS, Stanislav
The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the current situation of the law office and to select the most appropriate approach to the implementation of acquisitions from the perspective of individual options. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. Within the theoretical part we present important professional information from the investment environment, specifically dealing with approaches to investing, the investment process, financing options, the theory of investment evaluation and other aspects.

All calculations are based on successive calculations of statistics drawing on the data of the selected law office and subsequent adherence to industry trends. In the conclusion of the thesis, recommendations for the implementation of a specific investment opportunity are presented, as well as the results and opinions of the author.

Fundamental analysis of the selected stock
OSVALD, Viktor
The main goal of fundamental analysis is to make a gain from investing money in stocks. It is a combination of mathematical calculations and investor's experience that help him to understand the intrinsic value of the stock and whether it is convenient to buy it or to sell it. Moreover, there are also technical and psychological analysis that are used besides of the fundamental analysis to set the intrinsic value more precisely and predict future trends of the stock price. Ultimately after the intrinsic value is found, it is compared to the value on the stock market. In case the intrinsic value is higher than the value on the stock market, it means that the stock is undervalued, and it is convenient to buy it and vice versa. The key to the fundamental analysis is consistency. As the situation on the stock market is still evolving and the value of the stocks still changing, the fundamental analysis needs to be periodically updated with a new data so it can offer the correct predictive values.
