A STUDY ON RISK ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES IN PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: ANALYZING THE ROLE OF SECURITY ANALYSIS IN MITIGATING INVESTMENT RISKS WITH REFERENCE TO KARVY

An essential part of managing a portfolio is doing security analyses, which include looking at specific financial instruments like stocks, bonds, and other investments to see whether they are a good fit. Methods for determining a security's worth, risk, and possible return are examined in this research, which covers basic and technical analysis. In contrast to technical analysis, which centres on price patterns and trading volumes, fundamental analysis looks at a company's profits, growth potential, position in the industry, and financial statements. Finding out how security analysis helps with building and managing investment portfolios with optimum asset allocation, diversification, and risk management is the main goal of the study. To compare stocks and gauge the efficacy of a portfolio, analysts utilise key performance indicators including volatility, price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, beta, and earnings per share (EPS). According to the research, a balanced portfolio that takes into account an investor's risk tolerance and financial objectives requires precise securities analysis. Achieving success in long-term investments requires this method, since it improves decision-making, maximises returns, and minimises risk.
