Financial markets have experienced turmoil in recent years. While new regulations may be introduced around the world, Jeremy Bolland argues in this second edition of his unique guide to writing securities research that securities analysts don't need more regulation - just a clearer understanding of the issues and challenges they face.

Books that help analysts understand securities analysis and valuation abound. Writing Securities Research, second edition, fills a serious gap by helping analysts appreciate the risks that they run when doing their job, wherever they operate.

These include insider trading, frontrunning, conflicts of interest and defamation. Bolland also comprehensively covers corporate governance risks that analysts need to draw to investors' attention, social responsibility, equal treatment of shareholders, executive compensation, the role of independent non-executive directors and risk management.
