If you're looking to grow as an investor, then I have written a book and have created a spreadsheet of quality growth companies that features quality, linearity and valuation metrics.
My longest held position, Cadence $CDNS, keeps on growing.
In my 15 years of investing, each time I've learnt a new concept, I've distilled it into a single slide.
I've compiled a 17 private slide deck covering:
• Markets
• Capital allocation
• Pricing power

Let me know what you think!
There are three great opportunities in quality growth investing.
1. Low revenue growth companies with the potential for high FCF growth through significant margin expansion. E.g. $ICE $BR
2. High return on capital companies with the potential for high FCF growth through buybacks. $MSCI $FTNT $KLAC $LRCX
3. High FCF growth companies with the potential for a significant contraction in FCF yield (in other words, a re-rating). $MSCI $BR
I aim to have a portfolio where all three are in play.

This table lists the companies with the most linear share prices in the S&P 500. Which do you own? I own MasterCard and Visa from this list.

I was recently asked why most of my portfolio is in larger companies. Here was my response. I'm interested to hear other views on this. Let me know what you think.
It’s interesting to see the suite of apps built by Artcraft. Mostly clones of Microsoft and Adobe apps. It definitely makes you wonder what’s the future of software, if everything has been made open source by AI.
