Survival Kit for an Equity Analyst

Praise for Survival Kit for an Equity Analyst

"Shin Horie has come up with an excellent guidebook for young equity analysts, providing both an overall investment framework and personal episodes useful for professional development. I believe his book would also be valuable to private equity professionals, for valuation analysis, developing investment thesis and analyzing risk factors. The highest recommendation for any professionals engaged in investment activities."

-John Ehara, Co-founder, Unison Capital

"The book is very clearly written and well organized. It is bursting with practical insights that come from decades of experience combined with analytical understanding. Shin has distilled an extraordinarily complex process into an easy-to-follow manual that is valuable for new and seasoned analysts alike. The checklists at the end of each chapter provide useful summaries, making it easy for someone to go back and quickly find what they are looking for after reading it. The book will become the standard for equity analysts for years to come."

-Randall S. Kroszner, Deputy Dean for Executive Programs, Norman R. Bobins Professor of Economics, The University of Chicago Booth School of Business

"A practical how-to from someone who was one of the best himself and who supervised the best in the business for over two decades. A rare look inside how the process really works rather than the standard clichés."

-Steve Strongin, Former head of Global Investment Research, Goldman Sachs

"This book elaborates on how experienced equity analysts analyze industries and companies with frameworks and structure. It is highly recommendable not only for financial professionals but also for senior corporate managers in order to understand how equity analysts and investors are assessing strategies, financials and valuations of companies in practice. His personal anecdotes are also a quite enjoyable read."
