Writing Securities Research (PDF)

"There is a strong need for this book by Jeremy Bolland, which
dissects all issues relating to securities research. The
requirement for better research does not only apply to the US
securities market but to securities markets all over the world.
This book is relevant in any setting. It will equip analysts with
many useful tools to help them achieve
success." --Mark Mobius, President, Templeton
Emerging Markets Fund

"Jeremy Bolland's book is essential reading for all people involved
in writing securities research. Moreover, it is not just a
technical and legal guide, but also a timely reminder of the
principles of good writing." --Andrew Leeming, Author of
The Super Analysts

"Knowing your ratios and spreadsheets is no longer enough to become
an investment analyst. As Jeremy Bolland points out, you need to
know your do's and don'ts of how to approach clients and companies.
This guide to doing it properly is an obvious selection for the
bookshelf of anyone who aspires to offer investment advice and a
fine reference for anyone who receives such advice."--Jake van
der Kamp, Financial Columnist, South China Morning Post

"At last, here's a comprehensive yet easy-to-read guide explaining
all the best practice principles involved in writing securities
research. It is full of useful information. If all securities
analysts followed the guidance that has been clearly laid out in
this book by Jeremy Bolland, research enforcement regulators around
the world would be out of a job. Anyone who is involved in writing
and publishing research, or using research for investment
decisions, from the novice to the expert, should read this book. I
highly recommend it."--Anthony Espina, Chairman, Hong Kong
Stockbrokers Association
