Abstract

Systemic risk came into attention in the period of recent financial crisis. Importance of financial intermediation of investment funds is posing to a systemic influence of this sector to a stability of a financial market and therefore whole financial sector. This was proven through investment behavior, fire sales and net outflows from investment funds during the financial crisis. The article is testing systemic risk of whole range of different UCITS investment funds and behavior of these institutions as well as influence on financial market stability. Methodology is based on Markov regime switching model. A conclusion in this article proves existence of systemic risk in returns of analyzed UCITS investment funds and their strong systemic interconnections with returns and volatility on a financial market. Different investment strategy and type of UCITS investment fund shows no resistance to systemic risk according to this research.
