My investable universe

When I‘m screening markets for my investable universe I look for high-quality compounders with:

Strong and consistent capital returns (ROCE)
High and stable profitability (gross, operating, and FCF margins)
Steady revenue growth over time
Large market capitalization (mature, established companies)

In detail I’m screening for:

Market Cap: at least $ 10B
ROCE 3-Year Avg: ≥ 25%
ROCE 10-Year Avg: ≥ 25%
Gross Margin 3-Year Avg: ≥ 50%
FCF Margin 3-Year Avg: ≥ 20%
Operating Margin 10-Year Avg: ≥ 25%
Revenue per share CAGR 3-Year: ≥ 5%
Revenue per share CAGR 10-Year: ≥ 5%
FCF per share CAGR 3-Year: ≥ 10%
FCF per share CAGR 10-Year: ≥ 10%
Consistency/stability of earnings (from max. 1.0): ≥ 0.8
No more than 75% revenue exposure to one single country/market (eg. USA)

My Portfolio

Today I‘m sharing with you my main portfolio. This doesn’t include any ETF investments and crypto currencies / gold etc. since I want to focus my presence on getquin on stock-picking.

Read my 3-part portfolio strategy posts to get the full picture - here are just the main pillars of what I‘m doing:

Long-term buy and hold (average holding time 5+ years at least)
Focus on high-ROIC compounders riding secular trends (top-tier capital efficiency)
High margins, strong FCF growth, large moats (7 powers strategy)
Holding not more than 20 stocks at a time while mainly focusing on US and EU based companies

I like to divide my holdings into „core holdings“ (forever stocks) and „trend picks“ (2030 stocks) as follows:

My portfolio strategy (part 3)

I use the 7 Powers framework from the book “7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy” by Hamilton Helmer. It’s a killer framework for understanding why some businesses create lasting value and compound returns over time.

Each “Power” is a sustainable strategic advantage that lets a company generate outsized returns for a long time. I ask the 7 questions for each stock I am considering to buy.

1. Counter-Positioning

What it is: A new entrant adopts a superior business model that incumbents can’t copy without damaging their own biz.
Example: Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Blockbuster couldn’t move to streaming without killing its DVD revenue.
Why it matters: Creates asymmetric pressure; the old guard is paralyzed.

2. Scale Economies

What it is: Unit costs drop as volume increases.
Example: Amazon, Costco. Bigger = cheaper = stronger moat.
Why it matters: Hard to compete if you can’t match their cost base.

3. Switching Costs

What it is: Customers stick around because switching is painful.
Example: Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, Salesforce.
Why it matters: High retention = stable cash flows = compounding machine.

4. Network Effects

What it is: The product gets better as more people use it.
Example: Meta, Visa, LinkedIn.
Why it matters: Leads to dominance, creates a feedback loop of growth.

5. Branding

What it is: Emotional or symbolic value, not just functional.
Example: L’Oréal, Hermès, Apple.
Why it matters: Lets companies charge premium prices and keeps customers loyal even if alternatives exist.

6. Cornered Resource

What it is: Exclusive access to a critical asset — talent, IP, data, supply.
Example: ASML (EUV tech), Novo Nordisk (Ozempic IP), Ferrari (brand + heritage + team).
Why it matters: If no one else can get it, you win.

7. Process Power

What it is: Unique internal processes that drive efficiency, innovation, or quality — and are hard to copy.
Example: Toyota (lean manufacturing), Amazon (logistics, culture of innovation).
Why it matters: Long-lasting edge baked into the org’s DNA.

If I had to chose one, Network effects would be the most important one for me.

My portfolio strategy (part 2)

Concentrate on the following sectors: Tech, consumer, healthcare, financial (excluding banks), industrials
Smallest position size 2% / largest position size 15%
Only sell a position when it can be replaced with a position that increases the overall quality of the portfolio
Avoid companies with little to no track record or companies going through a restructuring phase

I see a lot of similarities to my strategy! Could it be that you watch a certain Youtuber with the initials JC? 😏

My portfolio strategy (part 1)

My Portfolio is a selection of 15-25 companies which I am buying and planning on never selling. The overall criteria for my #investableuniverse are the following. I will go in-depth in another post:

Little capital needed to run the business (high ROCE)
High returns on invested capital (high ROIC)
Profitability track-record with high gross margins / operating margins / high free cash flow margins
High free cashflow growth / substantial revenue growth
Global revenue diversification
Low cyclicality
#tollbooth Company - Large moat / brand name in the industry / no alternatives to the product
Predictable sources of future growth / global trends
