nÃo hà / O objetivo principal do presente trabalho à a anÃlise da previsibilidade de retorno para Fundos de Investimentos, utilizando o PatrimÃnio LÃquido e realizando o confronto entre o retorno mÃdio, com base no comportamento dos indicadores, estaremos fornecendo informaÃÃes para a montagem de estratÃgia de investimento para o mercado financeiro. A pesquisa foi fundamentada com a criaÃÃo de quatro carteiras, analisando 72 fundos de investimento, comparados com os principais benchmarks de mercado realizado durante o perÃodo 1998 a 2009. A estratÃgia ativa proposta, à tal que, o investidor aposta a cada quadrimestre nos 20 fundos com melhor performance (winners) em PatrimÃnio LÃquido, com pior performance em PatrimÃnio LÃquido (loosers), com melhor performance em Retorno MÃdio (winners), com pior performance em Retorno MÃdio (Loosers). Com base nos resultados obtidos, observamos que trÃs carteiras, das quatro criadas, conseguem superar e manter ganhos acima do Ibovespa, porÃm, quando comparados a outros benchmarks de mercado, nenhuma carteira tem sucesso, fato este que merece ser melhor investigado. Os portfolios compostos sÃo analisados sempre em trÃs esferas no perÃodo de prÃ-crise, no ano da crise e apÃs crise com intuito de identificar o desempenho das carteiras. Os benchmarks de mercado estÃo representados pelo Ibovespa, IBRX, IEE e FGV 100. Com exceÃÃo do Ibovespa, os indices de mercados apresentaram resultados superiores em perÃodo de crise. / The main objective of this study is to examine the predictability of return to investment funds using the Equity and making the comparison between the average return, based on performance indicators, will be providing information for the assembly of investment strategy for the financial market. The research was supported by the creation of four portfolios, analyzing 72 investment funds, compared with the main benchmarks market developed over the period 1998 to 2009. The active strategy proposal is such that investors bet every quarter in the 20 funds with better performance (winners) in Equity, with poorer performance on Equity (loosers), with better performance in Return Average (winners), with worse Return on Average performance (Loosers). Based on these results, we observe that three of the four portfolios created can overcome and sustain gains above the Bovespa index, but when compared to other market benchmarks, no portfolio is successful, a fact that deserves further investigation. The portfolios are analyzed when compounds in three balls in the pre-crisis year of the crisis and after crisis with the aim of identifying the performance of portfolios. The market benchmarks are represented by Ibovespa, IBRX, IEE and FGV 100. Except for the Bovespa index, the market indices showed better results in periods of crisis.

O objetivo da tese foi analisar a influência do rating, provido por agências independentes na formação dos preços de emissão de debêntures. A base de dados contou com 354 séries de debêntures não conversíveis, emitidas por empresas não financeiras, entre janeiro de 2000 e junho de 2010, em mercado primário público. A metodologia baseia-se no modelo fatorial de precificação aplicado a uma estrutura de dados pooled cross-section. Os modelos desenvolvidos ao longo do trabalho apontaram a relevância do rating na explicação do spread de emissão primária de debêntures no Brasil. Isoladamente, no entanto, explica cerca de 10% da variabilidade do spread. O estudo demonstrou serem significativas variáveis de crédito, maturidade, relação entre o volume emitido e o estoque de debêntures do mercado, a evolução do PIB e a alteração futura de rating (direção e a magnitude). Constatou-se também que emissões em percentual do DI tendem a ter menor spread que aquelas remuneradas por inflação mais taxa. Não se pode afirmar que o mercado diferencie, por meio do preço, a origem das agências ou as emissões com mais de um rating. As variáveis idiossincráticas da firma, na forma de índices econômico-financeiros extraídos de demonstrações financeiras publicadas, explicam diferenças de rating. Finalmente, constatou-se a utilidade da variável de escala linear de rating nos modelos de regressão desenvolvidos. / The overall objective of this dissertation was to analyze the influence of the rating provided by independent agencies in the spread of corporate bonds. The database was comprised of 354 series of non-convertible debentures issued by non-financial companies between January 2000 and June 2010 in public primary market. The study approach is based on the pricing factor model applied to a pooled cross-section data structure. The developed models suggested that the rating is significant in explaining the spread of primary issuance of debentures in Brazil. However, the rating explains no more than 10% of the spread variability. The study revealed that other factors were also significant during the analyzed period along with the credit variables: maturity, the ratio between the volume issued and total market outstanding of debentures, GDP growth, and future rating changes. It was also noted that series linked daily floating rates tend to have lower spread than those linked to inflation. When price is taken into account, the market does not seem to differentiate local agencies from international ones, or series with two or more ratings. Financial ratios obtained from financial statements, do explain the differences in rating. Finally, other important findings indicate the usefulness of the rating variable based in linear scale in the regression models developed in this work

Assim, ao tratar da sustentabilidade e sua relação com o mercado financeiro, este trabalho estuda como as bolsas de valores, ao estabelecerem certos padrões, produtos e nichos de mercado podem atuar e influenciar o sistema econômico fomentando os investimentos sustentáveis. Investimentos, estes, que cobrem uma gama de conceitos e um nicho de ativos no mercado financeiro, tais como a negociação de títulos lastreados em carbono, o investimento em tecnologia limpa e o investimento perante informações sobre o uso do meio-ambiente, responsabilidade social e governança corporativa na construção de portfolios financeiros. O presente trabalho apresenta e analisa a função econômica das bolsas de valores e seu papel nas questões da sustentabilidade em quatro capítulos. O primeiro deles procura fazer um resgate histórico e teórico da inserção das questões do meio ambiente na teoria econômica e da construção do conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável. O segundo capítulo contextualiza a estrutura do mercado financeiro, com destaque para a função econômica das bolsas de valores em um processo de financeirização mundial. O terceiro capítulo relaciona diretamente a importância do investimento sustentável e sua ligação com as bolsas de valores, destacando as principais iniciativas das bolsas membro da Federação Mundial de Bolsas e da Iniciativa Sustainable Stock Exchanges. Por fim, o capítulo quarto, resgata um breve histórico da Bolsa brasileira e avalia a agenda sustentável no mercado brasileiro com relação às principais iniciativas da BM&FBOVESPA e seu papel fundamental na construção de um mercado de capital mais sustentável no país / Abstract: With the changes that have taken place since the seventies, the institutions that participate in the financial and capital markets have become important agents for growth and economic development. It is therefore necessary to come to an understanding of the market as an instrument for the allocation of resources and look at the contribution it could make to environmental issues. This being the case, in addressing sustainability and its relation to the financial markets, this study analyzes how stock exchanges, by establishing certain standards, products and market niches can act on and influence the economic system by promoting sustainable investments. These investments cover a broad range of concepts and a niche of financial assets, which includes the trading of carbon certificates and securities, investments in clean technology and investments that take into account information on the appropriate use of the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance for the allocation process of financial portfolios. This thesis presents and analyzes the economic function of stock exchanges and their role in relation to sustainability over four chapters. The first makes a historical and theoretical review of the introduction of environmental concerns into economic theory and the creation of the sustainable development concept. The second contextualizes the structure of the capital and financial market, emphasizing the economic function of stock exchanges within a global financialization process. The third chapter deals directly with the importance of sustainable investment and its relationship to stock exchanges, highlighting the main initiatives of the members of the World Federation of Exchanges and the Sustainable Stock Exchanges initiative. Finally, the fourth chapter provides a brief history of the Brazilian Exchange and evaluates the sustainability agenda within the Brazilian capital market, with regard to the main initiatives of BM&FBOVESPA and its fundamental contribution to the building of a more sustainable capital market in Brazil / Mestrado / Desenvolvimento Economico, Espaço e Meio Ambiente / Mestra em Desenvolvimento Econômico

We are living in the era of financial uncertainty and high volatility on financial markets. According to some experts, these circumstances will have a significant impact on the investment conventions of Czech investors in the future. Economists are afraid of even stronger conservatism and skepticism on the field of investment tools. The gab between the yield of Czech and American or Australian family portfolio will be most probably deepen thanks to this. My master thesis has the goal to briefly define financial products which are available for Czech investors. Furthermore I also explain reasons of significant differences between the average portfolio of assets and credits of Czech, eastern and western European family.

In the thesis we focus on involving Agent-based models in modeling financial markets. In Agent-based models of economical systems, often called Agent-based computational economics (ACE), market price is established by actions and interactions of autonomous agents using heuristics or simple decision-making rules. This approach to modeling of financial markets provide us with better understanding of establishing market price then aggregate economical models which focuses exclusively on societally "optimal" equilibria assuming that they are achieved by informed and rational behavior of people. The thesis consists of two main parts. The first one, theoretical, is an introduction to agent based modeling, bounded rationality and social network Our concern in the second part of the thesis is a model of volatility on financial markets. This model is interesting example of agent based approach to creating economical models. However it contains some non-realistic assumption from which the most controversial is the space where agents interacts -- two dimensional lattice. In this part of the work the model is converted from two dimensional lattice to the networks which better corresponds to real social networks but we also experiment with another extension of the agent's decision-making function. The intended outcome of the work is verifying the quality of the model, to learn the effect of our model extensions on price volatility, overview of attributes of the particular networks and discussion whether such models could provide some valuable information to the economist which are interested in financial markets.

This diploma thesis is focused on designing a prototype Business Intelligence solution for a company operating in financial markets. The company does not possess a full-scaled system for measuring enterprise performance and performs this task by the means of manual data collection. The current system is not sufficient for covering the growing number of the com-pany's dealings. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with introducing basic principles of Enterprise Per-formance Management, Balanced Scorecard and, subsequently, Business Intelligence. The practical part covers the defined strategic goals of the company using the Balanced Sco-recard method. The discovered strategic goals are transposed into a strategic map. Metrics for measuring these goals are assigned to them. Only some of the goals are chosen for the implementation of the Business Intelligence solution. Source data for assessing the reached values are defined for the given indicators. Data from the data source were transposed into the data hub. Subsequently, an OLAP cube connected to a reporting tool for displaying the calculated metrics is created.
