Analysis of investment avenues, particularly bonds and equities, to select best possible constituents for a portfolio is the subject matter of Security Analysis and Portfolio Management.

This book has been written with the objective of elucidating, expounding and illustrating the right tools for security analysis and portfolio management in a way that both specialists and generalists are able to understand and apply them with ease.
