The main thesis of the book is to concentrate on quality companies rather than cheap shares. The idea being that companies with a competitive advantage that are well run and make consistent returns turn out, in the long-run to give higher returns.A look back at history proves this to be the case. So I suggest reading, digesting and acting, and you should be on the correct track. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid overview of quality with good examples *by B***Y on 19 June 2018* Enjoyed reading about how AKO define quality and some of the things to avoid (or seek out in the case of shorts!) The authors provide good examples of a variety of types of businesses with strong economic moats in sometimes atypical ways. Not sure that I agree that quality is worth any price, but can see their point on how the market misses the lack of operational volatility and the ability to reinvest cash flow in productive ways. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful for qualitative analysis *by M***A on 4 December 2018* Think of this book as an updated version of Common stocks and uncommon profits. The book makes the simple argument that for a buy and hold investor quality is important and describes these attributes which Mr Buffett describes as "moats". However, it seems that price is never given much consideration by the author although the price is important because it gives you a margin of safety.Value is also important because if the price paid for a stock is near/beyond its intrinsic value then the likelihood of making a good return is much diminished. To put things in perspective when IBM was riding high in the mid-90s and a stock was purchased with 1% dividend yield for a buy and hold investor the annual returns would have only been 8% per year over 23 years. However, if the investor managed to purchase this stocks with a 4% or more dividend annual returns would have been at least 18%. A compound interest of 10% difference produces a magnitude of a difference. Therefore quality can only help you if you managed to purchase it at a sensible price.Nevertheless, I give this book 4 stars because it emphasises on the importance of focusing on the business rather than creating elaborate maths which forego reality to make an investment decision. ## Frequently Bought Together - Quality Investing: Owning the best companies for the long term - Investing for Growth: How to make money by only buying the best companies in the world – An anthology of investment writing, 2010–20 - The Art of Quality Investing: How to invest in the best companies in the world --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/61421923-quality-investing-owning-the-best-companies-for-the-long-term](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/61421923-quality-investing-owning-the-best-companies-for-the-long-term) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
