Full textForeign direct investments are easier today then in the past owing to lower communication costs, improved and new information technology systems. In 1990, Brazil opened up for the global econ-omy and is today one of the tenth largest economies in the world, furthermore one of the largest recipients of foreign direct investments. Many different aspects need to be taken into consideration when investing in a foreign country such as motives, risks, entry modes and financing alternatives.
The purpose with this thesis is to describe Swedish corporations’ es-tablishment in Brazil, during 1990-2005. The authors aim to illus-trate the motives behind the establishment, choice of entry mode, the perceived risks of operating in Brazil and if these risks affect the financing decisions.
To answer the purpose of this thesis both quantitative- and qualitative methods have been applied. A quantitative method has been employed when performing the preliminary study, by sending a standardized questionnaire by email to the entire population to as-semble those corporations who established in Brazil during 1990-2005. When designing the interview questionnaire and accomplishing the telephone interviews a combination of qualitative- and quantitative methods have been utilized.
The most common motives to invest in Brazil are expanding markets and following already existing customers. When deciding upon how to enter the market, the majority of the respondents choose to start up from the ground, a Greenfield investment. The risks which had the largest impact of the corporation during the establishment were the political risk and protectionism. Intercompany financing has been the main financing alternative, though it is very expensive to borrow in Brazil. The risks affecting the financing decisions are the exchange rate, inflation and the interest rate.

Full textThe first essay of this dissertation studies the effect of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) on the yields and liquidity of the underlying corporate bonds. I find that ETFs lower the yield, have an insignificant or negative impact on the liquidity, and decrease the retail volume of constituent bonds. Overall, these results support theoretical predications that basket securities entice liquidity traders to exit the underlying market. The second essay analyzes the role of ETFs in mutual fund families and is joint work with Harold Spilker. We study mutual fund and ETF twins - index funds from the same family that follow the same benchmark. Mutual fund twins are shown to have lower tax burdens, long-term capital gains yields, and unrealized capital gains. Conversely, ETF twins have higher long-term yields and unrealized capital gains, but are compensated with lower expense ratios. Fund families benefit because twin offerings generate higher flows than their non-twin peers. These results support previous research that mutual fund families use diversification and subsidization to benefit the overall family. The third essay provides academics with a detailed understanding of the history, structure, regulation, and prospects of ETFs. The essay documents that the growth of index investing can largely be attributed to ETFs. The information and nuances discussed provide a baseline for developing future research questions and data

Full textDiversas crises financeiras tiveram sobre os fundos de pensões efeitos de decréscimo do valor dos ativos, redução do funding level e, por vezes, necessidade de contribuições adicionais por parte do sponsor ou de intervenção de organismos regulatórios. No ambiente descrito, fundos de pensões cuja estratégia de investimento passa apenas pela diversificação dos ativos parecem condenados a fracassar no longo-prazo, apesar de este continuar a ser um princípio financeiro basilar. É como resposta a este contexto que surgem os Liability-Driven Investments, estratégias especialmente preparadas para proteger os fundos de pensões de fatores de risco como como o risco de taxa de juro. Neste trabalho, apresentam-se quatro modelos pertencentes a essa categoria e comparam-se os resultados por eles produzidos. Os modelos são o Modelo Tradicional de Duração, o Modelo Vetorial de Duração, o Modelo de Duração Key-Rate e o Modelo de Duração da Componente Principal. Todos os modelos mostram um bom desempenho na reprodução da trajetória das responsabilidades, mas o Modelo de Duração Key-Rate destaca-se pelo facto de ter necessitado de menos contribuições para atingir um funding level mais elevado.
Pension schemes suffered from the same effects in various financial crisis. These effects were the reduction of the value of assets, the reduction of the funding level and, sometimes, the necessity for additional contributions from sponsor or for intervention from regulatory organisms. In the described environment, pension schemes whose investment strategy is based only on asset diversification are condemned to fail in the long-term, even considering that this is a valuable financial principle. Liability-Driven Investments appear as an answer to this context. These are strategies prepared to protect pension schemes from risk factors like interest rate risk. In this work, the author presents four models from this category and compares the results produced by them. The models are Traditional Duration Model, Duration Vector Model, Key-Rate Duration Model and Principal Component Duration Model. Each model shows a good performance on following the liabilities path, but the Key-Rate Duration Model stands out by the fact that it needed less contributions in order to achieve a higher funding level.

A reestruturação do setor de energia elétrica, iniciada nos anos 90, teve como uma de suas principais implicações a introdução da competição na atividade de geração. A expansão do parque gerador, necessária para garantir o equilíbrio estrutural entre oferta e demanda, é estimulada por contratos de longo prazo negociados em leilões, na modalidade de menor tarifa. Destarte, o investidor deve oferecer um limite de preço para que o seu projeto seja competitivo (de forma a ganhar a licitação), mas que ao mesmo tempo seja suficiente para remunerar seu investimento, custos de operação e, sobretudo, protegê-lo contra todos os riscos intrínsecos ao projeto. Nesse contexto, as duas principais contribuições do presente trabalho são: (i) a proposição de uma metodologia de precificação de riscos, utilizando o critério do Value at Risk (VaR), que indica a máxima perda admitida pelo invetidor avesso a risco, com um determinado nível de confiança, e (ii) a aplicação de diferentes modelos de seleção de carteiras, que incorporam o critério do VaR para otimizar um portfolio com diferentes tecnologias de geração de energia. Os resultados da precificação de riscos são úteis para determinar os componentes críticos do projeto e calcular a competitividade (preço) de cada tecnologia. A aplicação de diferentes métodos de seleção de carteiras busca determinar o modelo mais indicado para o perfil das distribuições de retorno dos projetos de geração, que apresentam assimetria e curtose elevada (caldas pesadas).
The new structure of the brazilian electric sector, consolidated by the end of the 90s main implication the introduction of competition in the power generation activity. The expansion of generation capacity, responsible to ensure structural equilibrium between supply and demand, is stimulated by long-term contracts negotiated through energy auctions. Therefore, the investor must give a competitive price (in order to win the auction), but also sufficient to pay his investment, operational costs and, especially, protect him against all project risks. In this role, the two main contributions of this work are: (i) to suggest a methodology of risk pricing, using the Value at Risk (VaR) criterium, which gives the maximum loss admitted by the risk averse investor, with a specified confidence level, and (ii) to apply different portfolio selection models, which incorporates the VaR criterium to optimize a portfolio with different power generation technologies. The risk pricing results are usefull to determine the project critical components and to calculate the competitiviness (price) of each technology. The study of different portfolio selection methods aims to investigate the most suitable model for the return distribution shape, characterized by having assimetry and curtosis (heavy tails).

Full textI denna uppsats studeras utvecklingen hos investmentbolag som handlas via Stockholmsbörsen på Mid Cap och Large Cap. Fem investmentbolag slumpades fram ifrån dessa listor och har sedan använts som jämförelsebolag. För att mäta deras utveckling har vi studerat kursförändringen samt totalavkastningen och jämfört dessa med slumpmässiga portföljer samt SIX Return index. De slumpmässiga portföljerna består av bolag utan något investmentbolag som större huvudägare. Detta resulterar i att de flesta bolagen i slumpportföljerna har ett mer splittrat ägande. I uppsatsen undersöker vi även avkastningen med hänsyn till risk i form av Sharpekvoter och standardavvikelse för varje portfölj. För att få en extra insyn i investmentbolagen har vi intervjuat Investor AB samt Investment AB Latour som är två ledande investmentbolag i Sverige. Studien tittar på en tidsperiod om 10 år mellan 2004-01-01 och 2014- 01-01. Det resultat som framkommit under studien är att investmentbolagen generellt sett har avkastat bättre än sina finansiella jämförelseobjekt. Detta med avseende på kursförändring och totalavkastning men även med hänsyn till risk. Förklaringen till detta ligger i ett antal variabler där investmentbolagens aktiva ägande är den största orsaken och substansrabatten i kombination med hög utdelning är ytterligare en orsak. Detta innebär att en portfölj med investmentbolag är en väldigt bra sparform överlag men framförallt för den som vill spara i aktier men saknar förkunskaper.

Full textAttracting foreign direct investments (FDI) is an important objective as it can stimulate the economic development of societies. German companies are among the largest investors in Portugal and contribute significantly to the country’s value creation. However, Portugal’s attractiveness as an investment location has been decreasing in recent years as new competitors have emerged in the global economy. This report analyzes FDI trends and determinants as well as Portugal’s relative strengths and weaknesses, identifies potential investment opportunities for German investors and makes practical suggestions to improve the country’s current investment promotion activities, focusing in particular on the automotive supplier industry.

Full textThis paper examines the relationship between housing investments and economic growth. Through a literature review five different hypotheses are analysed to examine the effects of housing investments on economic growth. The studied effects include; direct effects, counter-cyclical effects, price effects and productivity effects through reduced mismatch between housing and labour markets, and finally effects on the productivity of workers. The conclusion is that the direct effects are only short term and the existence of counter-cyclical effects is doubtful. For the price effects and the effects on productivity there are less empirical evidence, but the effects are still considered significant. Keywords: housing investments, new construction, economic growth, effects 2

Full textIt is tempting to conceive a program that is self-contained and to fiscally control the all the necessary developments. Such a path will lead to a program that is technically stovepiped and extremely expensive. For the test and evaluation (T&E) community, products are often developed only for single application. We do not exist in such times. The use of other program’s products and commercial products is basically required. This is the path that the Hardened Subminiature Telemetry and Sensor System (HSTSS) has taken. The HSTSS philosophy required that the technologies common to telemetry systems be examined for reduction in cost, size, ease of use, and above all the survivability under high-g or high shock environments. It was clear that HSTSS could not support all of these requirements for transmitters, batteries, electronic packaging, and sensors and be realistically affordable with a good return on investment. This paper describes how the HSTSS program has accomplished the development of new batteries, transmitters, and data acquisition devices based upon a leveraged acquisition strategy.
