The course focuses on the issues of investment in securities and commodities and their trading on publicly organized markets. The interpretation goes from the essence of the function of the stock markets to the systemic definition of their internal structure to the mechanism of their operation and the possible economic impacts in case of failure. Subsequently, it focuses on individual types of financial investment instruments, especially on exchangeable securities and commodities, foreign currencies, futures derivatives, securities of investment and mutual funds and, last but not least, publicly tradable structured products. And part of the interpretation is fundamental, technical and psychological analysis, as well as practical training of securities trading both in the Czech Republic and abroad. By completing the course, the student acquires a comprehensive view of the current ways of using financial investment instruments for external financing of the company (or recognizes the meaning of financial transactions carried out by the so-called transnational financial conglomerates), and learns how to manage their own assets. And, given the knowledge gained on the investment and knowledge of both securities and commodities, it will be able to independently conduct business transactions both in the Czech Republic and on foreign exchanges.
