What It Finds
Companies with 15%+ average ROCE over 10 years, high ROE, low debt, consistent revenue growth, and less than 10% equity dilution over a decade.
Why It Works
Buffett looks for businesses with economic moats — the ability to generate high returns on capital for long periods. The no-dilution filter ensures management isn't growing by constantly issuing new shares.

About Collections Investing
Collections are curated multi-factor screens that apply the investment philosophies of legendary investors to Indian equity markets. Each represents a complete investment worldview, not just a filter set.
Warren Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway on one insight: find businesses with economic moats — structural competitive advantages that allow them to earn high returns on capital for decades, not just years. In Indian markets, that means consistent 20%+ ROCE over 10 years, low equity dilution (management isn't growing by constantly issuing new shares), minimal debt, and high operating margins. The number of stocks passing this filter is deliberately small: perhaps 20–40 across NSE and BSE.
