Security Analysis & Portfolio Management

Securities analysis at IIT level

This 60-lecture NPTEL course from IIT Roorkee, taught by Prof. J. P. Singh, is a university-level look at security analysis and portfolio management. Its early lectures set the groundwork with debt and equity, derivatives and financial risk before the course turns to valuation.

Bonds and arbitrage

A large share of the lectures covers fixed income, from money market instruments and bond terminology to the intrinsic value of bonds and a long sequence on yield to maturity. Arbitrage theorems and the efficient market idea sit alongside, which connects pricing theory to the bond maths.

For a self-paced study

• Work through the bond valuation sessions with a calculator to hand.
• Relate the risk lectures to the asset mix in a portfolio you know.
• Use the derivatives introduction as a bridge to later material.
