Purpose: The purpose of this article is to examine whether non-financial enterprises operating in Poland show signs of investment policy financialization. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses the method of analysing indicators that identify the structure of financial assets and profitability from financial activities. For this purpose, the financial statements of non-financial enterprises published by the Statistics Poland for the years 2010-2018. Findings: The research shows that, in relation to Polish non-financial enterprises, one cannot talk about the financialization of investment activities. Admittedly, financial asset structure indicators showed an upward trend, but the reason was the acquisition of subsidiaries. The increase in the measures presented was not associated with an increase in profitability from financial activities. The indicators identifying the profitability of the financial sphere show that it generates negative income, which is covered by operating income. Research limitations/implications: Financialization is a developing phenomenon. The presented research covered the years 2010-2018, therefore research on the discussed issue should be continued. Originality/value: According to the traditional approach, the purpose of non-financial enterprises is to generate long-term profit (income) from operational and investment activities. As a result of phenomena associated with financialization, enterprises limit operating activities, especially long-term investment, to short-term financial activities. So they change the investment policy by shifting the capital allocation preference from tangible assets to riskier, but also more profitable financial assets. The originality of the article is associated with the analysis of investment policy in the field of financial investments in relation to enterprises operating in Poland.

Purpose: The aim of this article was to examine whether financialization phenomena affected the financing structure of non-financial enterprises operating in Poland. Changes in the financing structure in the era of financialization are manifested by the growing share of debt (foreign capital), the increase in the importance of securities while reducing the share of credit as sources of financing business activities and the growing involvement of (passive) derivatives. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis was conducted on the basis of indicators identifying the share of foreign capital in total liabilities, the structure of passive financial instruments and the structure of passive derivatives. Findings: Based on the empirical analysis, it was found that the phenomenon of the financing structure of financialization is not noticeable on the example of the surveyed business entities. The share of foreign capital in total liabilities of enterprises in 2010-2018 was around 0.5. In the financial assessment, it is the optimal financing structure. Research limitations/implications: Financialization is a developing phenomenon. The presented research covered the years 2010-2018, therefore research on the discussed issue should be continued. Originality/value: The originality of the article is associated with the analysis of the increase in the importance of debt in financing operations in relation to enterprises in Poland, including by industry.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to identify and analyze the costs of the stock exchange on the example of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. As a hypothesis, it was assumed that the electronization of stock exchange trading has affected the cost structure, under which the role of personnel costs and IT costs increased. Design/methodology/approach: The method of analyzing indicators identifying the cost structure was used to conduct the research. For this purpose, the financial statements of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Group (GPW) for the years 2007-2018 were used. Findings: The empirical research conducted shows that personnel costs and the costs of external services had the largest share in the cost structure in the covered period. In the category of external services, the most important were the costs of IT services - IT trading support. Interestingly, however, maintenance costs of office buildings and equipment were at a relatively significantly lower level compared to personnel costs and IT costs. Research limitations/implications: The analysis of financial data on stock exchanges is limited by the presentation of financial data. This is due to the fact that the processes of transformation into commercial businesses are a relatively new phenomenon. Originality/value: The originality of the article is associated with the analysis of financial data in relation to the business entity which is the stock exchange (on the example of Warsaw Stock of Exchange).
