I am looking to sharpen my knife and trim my portfolio down to only 15 stocks. Which stocks would you suggest I cut/sell and which ones would you put more emphasis on? Let me know in the comments!
Over the years, I’ve sharpened my strategy down to a focused portfolio built on true compounders. Here’s what guides my stock picking:
- High Capital Returns – I only want companies with top-tier ROIC & ROCE, not just “good” but best in class.
- Predictable Growth – earnings and free cash flow need to grow steadily, not in cycles.
- Strong Margins – wide gross margins, healthy operating margins, and high free cash flow conversion.
- Global Megatrends – every holding should profit from long-term, accelerating trends.
- Quality over Quantity – I’d rather own ~20 world-class businesses than chase diversification for its own sake.
- Long-Term Horizon – 5+ years minimum. Buy, hold, and compound.
here’s my current holdings:
