In today’s episode, Shawn O’Malley (@Shawn_OMalley_) breaks down different investors’ approaches to finding the best of the best companies to own. It’s a strategy known as Quality Investing, and it differs from value investing because quality investors are more focused on finding companies to own forever, as opposed to selling them if they rise above their current intrinsic value.

You’ll learn how definitions of quality vary, how quality investing is still rooted in value investing, what the patterns and building blocks of high-quality companies are, why pricing power is a great way to identify quality businesses, how Chuck Akre approaches quality investing, what Jim Collins’ research on enduringly great companies reveals, and how Chris Mayer finds stocks with 100-to-1 returns—plus so much more!
