About Quality Investing
Quality investing is the art of finding businesses that generate high returns on capital — consistently, for long periods. Out of 5,000+ stocks listed on NSE and BSE, fewer than 100 genuinely qualify as quality compounders. These screens find them.
The key metrics are ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) — does the business earn meaningfully more than its cost of capital? — and ROE (Return on Equity) — does it efficiently convert shareholder money into profits year after year? A single year of high ROCE is luck. Ten years of high ROCE is a moat: a structural competitive advantage protecting the business from rivals.
