Investment Analysis And Management

Investment Analysis and Management is a rigorous graduate level text that prepares learners with strong analytical skills, sound decision-making abilities and a deep understanding of modern investment practices. Written with clarity and academic depth, the book goes far beyond basic introductions to investing. It presents the field as a dynamic and constantly evolving area shaped by markets, institutions, investor behaviour and technological change. The book explains investment not just as the act of putting money into financial assets, but as a complete decision process that involves valuation, forecasting, managing risk, constructing portfolios and evaluating performance. It begins with essential concepts such as the meaning of investment, its characteristics, objectives and the constraints that guide investor choices. From there it moves steadily into more advanced areas including valuation of financial assets, methods of stock selection, fundamental and technical analysis, market efficiency, modern portfolio theory, the capital asset pricing model, the arbitrage pricing theory, bond valuation, mutual fund analysis and techniques for revising and managing portfolios.
