From the Inside Flap In a time when traders following passive management and quant strategies have rapidly increased their weights in total assets under management in equities, it is more important than ever for active equity fund managers to shift to more concentrated and longer-term bets in their portfolios. Survival Kit for an Equity Analyst: The Essentials You Must Know delivers a fascinating window into the world of company analysis. Drawing on author Shin Horie’s decades of experience as an equity analyst, the book offers readers a practical survival guide to succeeding as an equity research analyst and countless expert tips on how to discover, analyze, forecast, and evaluate public companies. The author presents the book in a narrative format, providing analysts with a resource that neither stand-alone financial theories nor business textbooks can match. It offers analyses at the industry level, from a global perspective, and with a particular focus on making appropriate adjustments when covering emerging market companies. Readers will learn a method for obtaining a holistic understanding of a sector’s makeup, competitive landscape, and revenue and cost drivers before turning to individual firms and their place in that sector. Survival Kit for an Equity Analyst explores the background of a basic process flow for company analysis and valuation, gives guidelines for analyzing potential earnings drivers in major industries, and explains how to dig deep into a company’s background to find actionable intelligence that doesn’t reveal itself with a cursory analysis of a financial statement. Survival Kit for an Equity Analyst: The Essentials You Must Know is a singular resource for entry-level analysts at sell-side research houses, asset management companies, investment banks, private equity firms, and corporate strategy divisions within companies or management consultancies.
