Sector Analysis: A Framework for Investors
The key to a company’s success depends on how well it executes its business model. This calls for optimising the allocation of limited resources to generate sustainable cash flows, for investing in new products, technologies, and services in responding to the wider competitive landscape or societal changes and mega trends, as well as for devising appropriate responses in the face of an evolving macroeconomic, regulatory, and political environment.

To help investors undertake proper due diligence on a company, CFA Institute has generated a framework of analysis designed to tease out whether the pertinent factors favour the firm in question, and whether management is effective in executing its business model or value-generating strategies, while responding appropriately to its external environment.
