Metody kvantifikace transakční devizové expozice na bázi simulace

The thesis is focused on the process of exchange risk management especially in context of small and medium enterprises. This process consists of exchange risk identification, quantification and decision whether to hedge the exposure. In the first chapter, transaction, economic and translation exposures are described. In the subsequent stage, options of transaction exposure measurement are discussed. The basic principles are demonstrated on scenario analysis and, after that,the description of VaR computed by historical simulation, Monte Carlo simulation and parametric approach is included. In the analytical part of the thesis computation of VaR by using historical and Monte Carlo simulation is illustrated on the case of made up company called CZ_export s.r.o. Four different VaR of its portfolio, which includes five different positions that vary in currency, volume and maturity, are obtained and, consequently, compared one another. In addition, it is proved that including correct correlations is essential for a good informative value of any model. All the computations are performed in Crystal Ball software by Oracle.
