Over a quarter of a century of stockmarket success!!  Securities Research Company and Market Analysis are 26 years old in 2007!

Our founder, James Cornell (now living offshore in a more tax friendly country), began investing his own money in the stockmarket in 1971 (at age 12 and starting with just $500).
While a student at Auckland University from 1977-1980 he spent much of his time independently studying all forms of investment - and concluded that the stockmarket offered investors the best opportunities to build wealth.

In 1981 a NZ registered company, Securities Research Company, was established to continue his research and to provide the independent research and unbiased advice that James needed to manage his own stockmarket investments.

In March 1981 the "Market Analysis" newsletter was published to share that work with other private investors. 
International investments were covered from March 1985, with coverage expanded and transferred to "International Investor" in January 1996. 
Australian shares have been covered in "Market Analysis" since February 1994. 
Our share selection database was established in 1981 and finally made available to other investors via the Internet from January 2003 with the Online Share Selection service.
In late 2004 we began offering an Individually Managed Portfolio service for a small number of investors who were unable to manage their own investments.
In late 2006 the business was restructured and now operates through a new Securities Research Company Ltd, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.
