Description
In the current scenario, investing in stock markets is a major challenge even for seasoned professionals. And it
is no surprise that Security Analysis and Portfolio Management is a tough subject for many students.
This book is targeted at post-graduate students of management and commerce and reflects my understanding
of the requirements of students. The book offers conceptual clarity, in-depth coverage and the Indian context
with its emphasis on a student-friendly approach and an attempt to demystifying the tough subject. The book
is divided into three parts.
Part I elaborates the basics of investment and different forms of securities of the Indian stock markets. The
investment alternatives and the issue of the stock are examined in chapters 2 and 3 . The functioning of the
secondary market and how an investor goes about buying and selling the stocks is presented in chapter 4. The
major stock exchanges and their trading pattern are depicted clearly in chapter 5. The chapter on listing of
securities explains how the stocks enter into the stock market. To have a better understanding of the stock
indices, a separate chapter is drafted on that. Chapter 8 expounds SEBI and its role in the stock market.
Part II exclusively deals with the different aspects of Security Analysis. The practical dimensions of the risk
involved in the stock market investment and the quantitative terms of risk are discussed in chapter 9. The
theoretical tenets and the assessment of the value of the bond and stocks are presented in chapters 10 and 11.
The chapter on fundamental analysis gives systematic approach for estimating the present and future worth of
stocks through economic industry company analysis. Chapter 13 explores the various methods adopted by
technical analysts to study the stock price movement. The chapter on efficient market theory portrays the
efficient markets and the theory of random walk. The chapter on options and futures provides an idea about the
derivatives market.
Part III is devoted to Portfolio Analysis. The different approaches to portfolio construction are examined in
chapter 16. The techniques adopted to minimise the risks are focused in chapters 17 and 18. Chapter 19
introduces the capital market theory. The methods of evaluating the portfolio are explained in chapter 20.
Finally, chapter 21 explains the strategies used to revise the portfolio.
