Summary

Introduction

Security Analysis is the analysis of tradable financial instruments called Securities. These can be classified into Debt securities, Equities, or some hybrid of the two. Investing involves risk of loss of principal and is more concerned on the return of investment. This total risk measured by standard deviation, can be divided into two parts: Unsystematic Risk and Systematic Risk. Unsystematic Risk is called as diversifiable risk. Unsystematic Risk or Market Risk can be measured by Beta. If decisions are to lead to benefit maximization, it is necessary that individuals/institutions consider the combined influence on expected (future) return or benefit as well as on risk/cost. The requirement that expected return/benefit be commensurate with risk/cost is known as the "risk/return trade-off" in finance
