Private International Law and the Issues of Securities Law Tomáš Borčin Acts No. 139/2011 Coll. and No. 172/2012 Coll. have introduced a set of brand new choice-of-law rules in respect to securities into the Czech legal system. The same set of rules has rather simultaneously been adopted by the new Act No. 91/2012 Coll., on Private International Law, coming into force on 1st of January 2014. However, despite the fact that these amendments had brought the much needed conflict of laws rules for cross border transactions involving securities, the actual subject of how the securities are treated in private international law remains mostly unexplored by Czech jurisprudence as of this date. Therefore, the core ambition of this thesis is to provide a complex legal analysis of the aforementioned rules by the means of examination of their theoretical basis as well as of practical implications of their application. The thesis consists of seven chapters of various extent and scope. The ratio behind the first chapter is to address the question of what securities are, and how are they treated pursuant to Czech legislation. The emphasis is given on the definition of securities and their respective classification, however, the chapter does not omit the upcoming changes in respect to the recodification of private...

Since the end of the 20th century capital markets have undergone a fundamental change. Under the influence of globalization they have become more interconnected and more functional than before on the base of information technology. Although the financial crisis of 2008 slowed down this development and liberalization, currently markets are rising again and one of the most striking trends is their integration into multinational units. An example of Stock Exchange Cooperation in the early 21st century is the CEESEG group associating Central and Eastern European Stock Exchanges, namely, the Wiener Börse, the Prague Stock Exchange, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the Budapest Stock Exchange. The theme of this thesis is to analyze the example of this geographically close and, thanks to the PSE, directly related, interesting trend of Stock Exchange cooperation, the manner of its function and impact on every member Stock Exchange.

This thesis deals with the phenomenon of the uncertificated securities in the context of financial law. Proper and prudential legal regulation of the securities is considered to be key element of efficient financial markets of which the importance for the economics is systematically growing in past few decades. From the beginning, financial markets were dominated by certificated securities represented by legal fiction incorporating rights arising from the security into a certificate and considering this certificate as a tangible movable asset. In the consequence of the development of financial markets and securities trading uncertificated securities were developed to make transfers of the securities and asset management feasible. Uncertificated securities can be defined as substitutable physical securities incorporating private rights which are prerequisite for the exercise and transfer of those rights and which are replaced by a record entered in the central register of securities, mainly central securities depositories. The form of the uncertificated securities determines the necessity of their special legal regulation taking into account their legal nature and connected legal aspects of record keeping. The purpose of my thesis is to analyse relevant Czech legislation and highlight both...

Financial Market Regulation in the Czech Republic with a Focus on the Securities Market ABSTRACT: The financial markets constitute a foundation of every market economy and in recent years their regulation is becoming increasingly relevant for political-legislative decision- making process (mainly as result of the last world financial and economic crisis).

Trading with stocks at Prague stock exchange Summary This diploma thesis trading with stocks at Prague Stock Exchange provides a basic overview of the trading process and related matters. In the first chapter of the thesis I deal with the theoritical definition and divison of the financial market and its position in financial system with a focus on its functions. This definiton of the financial market is not done in context of legislation, but according to general theories. The second part of the thesis deals with stocks, when is gradually passed from the conception of stock as a security under the Civil Code, through the specifiaction of their forms and types according to the Act on Business Corporation, to the share as an investment security pursuant to the Act on Business on Capital market.

The main aim of thesis is to assess the validity of Efficient markets theory in a particular case. Efficient markets theory is a theoretical model of a financial market that is very similar to the model of a perfectly competitive market. Efficient markets theory gives an explanation of price movement of financial instruments. Efficient market is based on similar assumptions as a perfectly competitive market. These assumptions are not always entirely realistic. For this reason perfectly competitive market does not exist, it is only a theoretical model describing an ideal situation. The thesis answers the question of whether the Efficient markets theory also theory or vice versa reality.

The goal of this Masters Thesis is to analyse economic value added generated by non-financial companies listed on Prague stock exchange.

Next goal is to analyze link between economic value added and stock price. Correlation between this two parameters would be a sign of possibility to predict future stock price in dependance on generated economic value added.

In my final thesis, I focus on the various forms of Stock Exchange's cooperation and try to outline the impact of deregulation and globalization to Stock Exchange Markets organization. I mentioned the theoretical background, which were used as a basis for analyzing the topic of consolidation of stock exchanges. In the introduction I explain some basic terms, such as mergers, union or federation, and clarify the difference between cooperation and consolidation. Then I focused on the first transatlantic alliance and one of the most important entities in the Stock Exchange markets - NYSE Euronext. I evaluated the alliance of the three selected indicators, the market capitalization, trading volume and market velocity. The analyze carried out in my thesis shows that the regulatory authorities allowed in the past the establishment of Stock Exchanges alliances, which are currently the largest and most important players on the Stock Exchanges markets, and it is really difficult for regional markets to compete them. This problem is, in particular, outlined in the case of Deutsche Börse, which sought to be connected with the transatlantic alliance NYSE Euronext., but this merger was rejected by the European Commission, just for fear of disruption of market competition. As the evidence that the Stock Exchange markets are constantly busy and that all exchanges are trying to reach the best position and thus are seeking for the best possible partner for future cooperation, I introduced two recently published plans for connections, which was merger between Deutsche Börse and the Russian stock exchange MICEX and merger of Intercontinental Exchange and NYSE Euronext. At last but not least I focused on the analysis of the Asian continent from the perspective of realized and unrealized mergers where Stock Exchange markets are not oversaturated and still have a huge potential for further development.
