The yield, risk and liquidity of investment options

In this thesis I am focusing on financial investments, their yield, risk and liquidity and portfolio. First I will divide financial and capital markets, characterize investments and investing process phases. Financial instruments, into which investor can deposit his free finances, such as stocks, bonds, unit trusts, money deposits, commodities, real estate, or foreign exchange market are introduced to the reader. The investor has various options, but in my thesis, I will focus on financial investment. In the next chapter I will define 3 important terms, yield, risk, and liquidity, and how to calculate those values. I will also shortly inform about portfolio and calculation of its yield and risk. In the last chapter of the theoretical part I will introduce investment strategies, that investor can approach, based on investment period, approach to risk and risk of inflation. For the practical part of my thesis I chose savings account, state and corporate bonds and stocks. For chosen instruments I calculated yield, risk and guessed liquidity. Due to the nature and comparison of chosen investments I calculated only current yield. For risk I set up time period of three years. For chosen bonds the duration was calculated. Data that have been used in this thesis had to be months old, because of the COVID-19 epidemic, that had negative effects on stocks markets. I compared the results and, in the end recommended a suitable strategy for set investors
