Classical Investment Frameworks in Quantitative Screening

The prebuilt screens provided above translate timeless value and growth philosophies into automated quantitative queries. Understanding each strategy's intellectual foundation enables investors to deploy them in appropriate market cycles.

Economic Moat & Owner Earnings

Inspired by Warren Buffett’s annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. Focuses on enduring competitive advantages (“moats”), demonstrated through sustainable ROE > 15%, conservative leverage (Debt/Equity < 0.5x), and consistent double-digit net profit margins.

High Return on Capital (Munger Doctrine)

Reflecting Charlie Munger’s dictum that over the long term, equity returns rarely exceed the underlying business’s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). Filters for businesses with ROCE ≥ 20% that compound retained profits at superior rates without financial engineering.

Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP)

Formulated in Peter Lynch’s One Up on Wall Street. Avoids extreme hype by indexing the price-to-earnings multiple to historical earnings growth. A PEG ratio under 1.0 indicates that investors are not overpaying for expected future expansion.

Contrarian Margin of Safety

Derived from Benjamin Graham and David Dodd’s Security Analysis. Seeks unloved, depressed securities trading at severe discounts to tangible book value or single-digit earnings multiples where the margin of safety protects downside risk.
