INTRODUCTION

Security analysis is the evaluation of various tradable instruments in a market with the aim of ascertaining risk and profitability of those instruments so that sound decisions can be made (Pandya, 2013). The concept of security analysis is related with portfolio management in which distinctive securities are combined together in a portfolio that it will result in balanced profit and risk (Kevin, 2015). The main aim behind developing this report is to be familiar with the techniques of analysing the bonds as a fixed income security. This report is categorised into two sections. In Section A, topics such as effect of BREXIT upon financial market and investment management is analysed. In Section B, Macaulay and modified durations are computed along analysing the concept of zero coupon bonds and loanable funds. Later, in the section B, a case study of two individual’s portfolios are managed.
