Reviews -

Portfolio construction is not an easy task, neither for the novice students of the financial markets nor for the seasoned professionals, or the entrepreneurs wishing to deploy capital.

Rich Ponds, by Anurag Sundarka, breaks down the process of studying industries and identifying the most promising among them in such a clear and consistent way that makes it very valuable to everyone involved in the investment process. Highly recommended.

“An important aspect of the investment profession is understanding a business. Numbers and balance sheet provide a good perspective on the past, but understanding qualitative drivers of a business is crucial in evaluating the future potential of any business. This book is an impressive attempt at providing a structured framework of evaluating not only any business (and its competition) but also evaluating industries.”
