Benjamin Graham is widely known as the father of Value Investing, and mentor to Warren Buffett. But Graham made another critically important contribution by advocating that securities analysts should meet minimum requirements of knowledge, and be held to high standards of ethical conduct—in short, that the profession should be treated as seriously as other fields of study, like accounting, medicine or law.

Benjamin Graham and the Birth of the Professional Financial Analyst showcases Graham’s important contribution to remaking investment analysis as a profession. This fascinating collection spanning 30 years offers us valuable perspectives on investing and financial markets—many as vital in the present day as they were in Graham’s own tumultuous mid-twentieth century—and reveals the evolution of Graham’s passionate belief in the creation of a financial profession and a science of financial analysis.

About the Book:

When Benjamin Graham began workingon Wall Street in 1914, the centerof American finance resembled a lawless frontier.The concept of regulatory laws was in itsinfancy, the SEC wouldn’t see the light of dayfor 20 years, and many firms hid assets andearnings from nosy outsiders.

And security analysts didn’t exist as weknow them. They were called “diagnosticians,”and they didn’t do much analyzing. These investorsprided themselves on going with the“feel” of the market, and most of them rarelylooked at a financial statement.

Appalled by the lack of research and quantification,Benjamin Graham set out to changeall this—and ended up creating the disciplineof modern security analysis.
