    Based on a thorough analysis of the best performing stocks over long period of time, not just in India but across several markets, we notice that there is common trait across many of the high performing stocks. These companies typically require very little capital to grow (fixed assets and more importantly very low working capital), have very little or no debt on their books, grow at a steady pace, are highly profitable and are run by high quality management. They are also among the most efficient within their industry, and the management is committed to managing their finances efficiently. A cursory glance at all these characteristics should tell you that these are the characteristics of companies which embody very low business and financial risk. These are not the high risk companies which load themselves up with a lot of debt, put up large projects and risk shareholders’ money.
