The target of this thesis was to compare revenues and risks from the investing into shares of 40 chosen companies from 6 branches of Paris Stock Exchange. This stock was chosen because of there are not so developed conditions to confirm or contradict such type of methods in Czech Republic. I have applied the most often used methods like fundamental and technical analysis. I have also tried the practicability of the theory of effectiveness and tried to affirm the truth or false of this method.

The following article deals with the corporate merger agreements where the controlling shareholders of a company legally force the minority group to sell their shares in exchange for compensation. Thus, it seeks to describe, analyze and understand the characteristics, conditions, requirements and motives of FOMs, in order to assess the possibility of introducing such a fusion in Peru, considering our legal context. / El siguiente artículo versa sobre los acuerdos societarios de fusión en virtud del cual los accionistas controladores de una sociedad fuerzan legalmente al grupo minoritario a venderles sus acciones a cambio de una compensación. De tal manera, se busca describir, analizar y comprender las características, condiciones, requisitos y motivos de las FOM, con el propósito de evaluar la posibilidad de introducir este tipo de fusión en el Perú, teniendo en cuenta nuestro contexto legal.

O objetivo deste estudo foi responder se, entre 1995 e 2000, a captação de recursos para os fundos de investimentos em ações esteve condicionada aos crescentes ganhos de capital conseguidos na BOVESPA ou se, ao contrário, os ganhos de capital da BOVESPA foram influenciados pela crescente captação de recursos através dos fundos de investimentos em ações. Para responder a estas duas questões foi aplicado o teste de causalidade de Granger (1969) sobre os retornos dos investimentos na BOVESPA e os volumes de recursos captados pelos administradores de fundos de ações, no período estudado. / The goal of this study was to answer if, between 1995 and 2000, the flow of resources to the stock mutual funds has been conditioned to the capital market profits made by investors of the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) or, on the contrary, the capital market profits have been influenced by the ever growing resources flow from the mutual funds industry. To answer those two questions the Granger (1969) causality test was used with the rates of return of the investments in BOVESPA and the flow of resources from the asset managers, during the sample period.

As estratégias utilizadas foram baseadas em modelos operacionais de traders profissionais e iniciantes que atuam no mercado brasileiro diretamente em operações de day trade e utilizam-se destas estratégias para aumento do capital investido ou também como rendimentos mensais. Após as análises das estratégias, foram realizadas comparações com operações de buy and hold para avaliar as condições operacionais com maior lucro. Os resultados destas estratégias mostram diferentes taxas de acerto e payoff, que podem variar de acordo com o estilo operacional de cada trader. Apesar das estratégias apresentarem uma taxa de retorno positiva, todas mostraram-se negativas quando incluímos os custos operacionais envolvidos e também inferiores quando comparadas ao modelo buy and hold. / This paper proposes to evaluate some strategies that are used by individuals, commonly known as traders, in day trades operations on the São Paulo stock exchange, current B3, and to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies. The strategies used were based on operational models of professional traders and beginners who operate in the Brazilian market directly in day trade operations and use these strategies to increase the capital invested or also as monthly income. After the analysis of the strategies, comparisons were made with buy and hold operations to evaluate the most profitable operating conditions. The results of these strategies show different hit and payoff rates, which may vary according to the operational style of each trader. Although the strategies presented a positive rate of return, all were negative when we included the operational costs involved and also lower when compared to the buy and hold model.

Sua finalidade é apresentar os receituários prescritos pelos economistas que seguem a tradição da hipótese dos mercados eficientes e aqueles que admitem alguma manifestação de racionalidade/imperfeição no comportamento dos agentes participantes dos mercados financeiros. Para cumprir essa tarefa primeiramente será apresentado o conceito teórico de bolha de acordo com essas duas visões. Em seguida será feita uma breve descrição de como o processo de desregulamentação financeira, que ganhou força a partir da década de 1970, permitiu que as bolhas se tornassem recorrentes e intrínsecas ao sistema capitalista, bem como o modo pelo qual os ciclos de ativos afetam as principais variáveis macroeconômicas. A partir de então abre-se caminho para melhor compreender as vantagens e desvantagens de se adotar uma política monetária passiva diante das bolhas (como prefere a visão neoclássica convencional) ou pró-ativa (como defende a visão alternativa). Como ficará evidente este é um tema novo e controverso para a teoria econômica e não se tem aqui o objetivo de apresentar uma solução definitiva para os dilemas da autoridade monetária. Pretende-se tão somente mapear as diferentes visões a respeito do tema. Por fim há ainda um último capítulo onde se faz uma breve análise da bolha de ações (e a conseqüente bolha de imóveis) que a economia norte-americana experimentou do final da década de 1990 / Abstract: The subject of this work are the trade-offs and challenges faced by Central Banks of the developed countries in the conduction of the monetary policy in the occurrence of a stock or real state bubble. In this thesis are presented the opinions of economists that believe in the random walk theory and in the efficient market hypothesis, and of those that assume some irrationality in the behavior of financial markets in respect of how Central Banks should use the monetary policy in the occurrence of bubbles. First it is showed the theoretic bubble concept under these two viewpoints. After that, the second chapter shows a short analysis of how the financial deregulation since 1970 has allowed bubbles to be more frequent and to have enough power to affect macroeconomic variables. The third chapter shows the advantages and disadvantages of adopting an either passive or active monetary policy to combat bubbles. This is a controversial subject to the economic theory and the purpose of this thesis is not to present a definitive solution for these challenges. The pretension here is solely identify the existing visions on this subject. Finally, the last chapter presents a short analysis of the ¿internet¿ bubble in the United States during the second half of the nineties / Mestrado / Teoria Economica / Mestre em Ciências Econômicas

Neste trabalho analisa-se a relevância de saltos no apreçamento de derivativos de commodities através da comparação de dois modelos. O primeiro leva em consideração um convenience yield com reversão à média, enquanto o segundo é uma generalização do primeiro com saltos no preço à vista. Ambos os modelos são estimados por meio de uma abordagem Bayesiana, sendo as distribuições a posteriori simuladas com o uso de técnincas da família MCMC. Dados de petróleo, trigo e cobre são utilizados para fins de estimação. A análise econométrica indica significância estatística para saltos, mas não encontrou-se evidência significativa de que saltos melhoram o apreçamento de derivativos. / In this work we analyze the relevance of jumps in the pricing of commodity contingent claims by comparing two models. The first takes into account mean-reverting convenience yields, and the second is a generalization of the first with jumps in spot prices. Both models were estimated using a Bayesian approach, and posterior distributions where simulated using MCMC techniques. Oil, copper and wheat data where used for estimation proposes. Econometric analysis indicates statistical significance for jumps, but we found no strong evidence that jumps improve derivative pricing.

This is a fundamental reason for the investors lose money and end up giving up investing in the capital market. In an attempt to address this issue, this paper proposes the development of a servisse capable of estimating the future price of assets in the Stock Exchange. For this, it used of a genetic algorithm, which allows to extract features from the market, necessary for estimating the future behavior of an action. / Antecipar a precificação futura da bolsa de valores não é considerada uma tarefa simples, pois envolve uma série de variáveis obscuras, que devem ser capazes de representar a situação real do mercado. Esse motivo faz com que vários investidores percam dinheiro e acabem desistindo de investir no mercado de capitais. Como tentativa de contornar essa situação, o presente trabalho propõe o desenvolvimento de um serviço capaz de estimar o preço futuro de ativos na bolsa de valores. Para isso, faz o uso de um algoritmo genético, o qual permite extrair características do mercado, necessárias para estimar o comportamento futuro de um ativo.

A metrópole de São Paulo posiciona-se como principal praça financeira do território brasileiro. Nela, situa-se a Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros de São Paulo (BM&FBovespa), que é, atualmente, a única bolsa de valores em operação no país. Avaliando o processo de desenvolvimento do mercado de capitais brasileiro, buscamos entender o surgimento e a transformação das bolsas de valores, discutindo a centralização e a concentração das instituições financeiras no território e suas implicações. Buscamos também entender como se dá o processo de expansão e de internacionalização da bolsa de valores brasileira, observando como São Paulo se insere como participante de peso no mercado financeiro internacional e questionando as consequências da concentração dessas atividades em poucos pontos do território brasileiro, assim como os efeitos da expansão das atividades financeiras no mundo contemporâneo. / The metropolis of São Paulo stands as the main financial center in the Brazilian territory. The São Paulo Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange is currently the only stock exchange operating in the country. Evaluating the process of development of the Brazilian capital market, we seek to understand the emergence and expansion of the stock exchanges, discussing the centralization and concentration of financial institutions on the territory and its implications. We also intend to understand the process of Brazilian stock exchanges expansion and internationalization. For this, we observe how São Paulo inserts itself as a heavy participant of the international financial markets, questioning the consequences of the concentration of this activity in a few points of the Brazilian territory, and also the effects of the expansion of financial activities in the contemporary world.

Mergers and acquisitions are a key component in the toolbox of business strategies that companies employ to improve organisational performance. Empirical studies that focus on domestic mergers and acquisitions activity in developed countries are numerous, however there remains a limited amount of research into the effects of cross border mergers and acquisitions on the performance of acquiring companies, especially in emerging markets. This research examined whether cross border mergers and acquisitions concluded by acquiring companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have a positive or negative impact on the operating financial and short term share price performance of the listed acquirer. A quantitative approach was adopted for the purpose of this research. In order to analyse the impact of cross border mergers and acquisitions transactions on the share price and operating financial performance of listed acquiring firms secondary data was utilised. The research incorporated publicly available daily share trading data for shares traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and financial and accounting data sourced from McGregorBFA. In addition, the sample of cross border mergers and acquisitions transactions was obtained from the MergerMarket database. Purposive sampling was applied to select an initial sample of 44 transactions. Based on the exclusion of confounding events a final sample of 29 transactions was tested. Given the small sample size, and that confounding events were determined not to have a material impact on the cross border transactions, comparative analysis was performed using the initial sample of 44 transactions. Different lenses were applied for testing financial performance by using three performance measures. These included abnormal share price returns; key financial performance ratios and industry adjusted operating cash flow return on assets. Various short-term event windows were analysed for each of these measures. Parametric tests including t-tests for unequal variance and paired t-tests were applied in the research. Given the small sample size non-parametric testing in the form of Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum tests was also applied. In addition, bootstrapping was applied to the cumulative average abnormal returns. This research concluded that both the short-term share price and operating financial performance of acquiring companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange does not improve significantly in the short-term post the cross border merger or acquisition transaction. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / lmgibs2014 / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / MBA / Unrestricted

M.Com. (Financial Management) / In 1995, the South African government needed to address the widening poverty gap. The manner in which they would do so was through the process of financial market liberalisation of the JSE. The intention behind the process of financial liberalisation on the JSE was to increase the liquidity of the JSE. The significance of this study is that it would provide regulators of financial markets, policy makers and academics information on the effectiveness of the liberalisation of the JSE on dual listed companies’ ability to grow in a sustainable manner. Previous literature has found the risk sharing benefit associated with financial market liberalisation. With the increased number of participants in market would increase the chance of successful trades. Previous studies have found that there is a positive correlation with financial market liberalisation and market liquidity. Exchange controls have been put in place to prevent capital flight in sudden economic down turns. Certain studies have found that financial market liberalisation on has had minimal impact on the market capitalisation This study investigates the effects the financial liberalisation on the JSE had on dual listed companies’ sustainable growth rates. A purposive sampling technique was used in this study and a sample of 28 dual listed companies was selected. The approach to this study was an explanatory approach and the research paradigm was archival. The statistical tools which were utilised in the study were broken into two components, namely, the descriptive statistics and the inferential statistics. The data that were used in the study were secondary data collected from I-Net Bridge. The results of this study indicated that the financial liberalisation of the JSE did have an impact on the sustainable growth rates of dual listed companies on the JSE. Recommendations were made in this study for the dual listed companies to improve their net profit margins. The methods in which the dual listed companies are able to improve their net profit margins are by finding competitive sustainable advantages. It was further recommended that the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 needs to be amended to create a conducive economic environment for the dual listed companies to grow sustainably. It was further recommended that the dual listed companies on the JSE invest in human capital in order to improve their sustainable growth rate.
