What I Learnt as an Analyst: Sharing of Experience in Investment and Analysis

by tze cheng lim

Citing personal experiences as an analyst and fund manager, "What I Learnt as an Analyst" does not aim to glorify successes or condemn failures, but to equip both novice and experienced readers with the right tools to succeed in their chosen financial path.

Part Unit Trusts as an Investment is intended for individuals who want to invest in the stock market but don't have the interest or resources to analyze individual companies. For them, the most viable way is through investments in unit trusts. Part I will guide investors on the ins and outs of investing using this method.

Part Shares as an Investment is meant for individuals who wish to invest directly into the stock market. Rather than jumping in blindly, it aims to equip individual investors with a basic understanding of financial statements, financial ratios, basic valuation methodologies, and other aspects of analysis to consider when analyzing a company.

In addition to promoting and spreading financial literacy among society, the book will benefit the Kriyalakshmi Mandir Shree Sai Gurukul Charitable Society (KMSSG), a Non-Profit Organisation registered with the Registrar of Society of Malaysia, through proceeds earned by its sale.

All KMSSG activities are posted on its official Facebook page at KMSSG Charitable Society.

I enjoyed reading this book immensely. The book presents a dummified introduction into the fundamentals of finance. I was merely looking for a reading material to provide a brief peek into understanding financial statements. This book serves that objective, and then some. The writer deploys some relatable and understandable examples to illustrate certain financial concepts. Recommended for non-Finance people who need a peek into Finance 101.

A very good reading for an amateur investor like me.
