The focus is on the attempt by active investors to identify mispriced securities using publicly available information, company reports and financial market information. The analytical techniques of financial statement analysis (fundamental analysis, free cash flow analysis and pro-forma analysis) and the issue of the ‘reliability’ and ‘quality’ of publicly available information are discussed and explored. Those contemplating careers in investment banking, financial consulting, trust funds, superannuation funds, hedge funds, and brokerage firms will find this applied subject both useful and interesting.
