01 — THE PREMISE

A Different Way to Evaluate Businesses

A Different Way to Evaluate Businesses

Great investments rarely emerge from a single metric or isolated signal. MGQI evaluates companies through four complementary dimensions that capture both the strength of the business and the way the market is recognising that strength.

The framework is designed to move beyond short-term narratives and evaluate whether market leadership, business growth, business quality and institutional participation are reinforcing one another.

02 — FOUR DIMENSIONS

The Four Pillars

The Four Pillars

01

Momentum

Identifying businesses where earnings and cash-flow momentum is strengthening or remaining consistently strong.

Momentum focuses on the direction and strength of fundamental performance, identifying businesses where earnings, cash flows and operating performance are improving or sustaining strong momentum.

02

Growth

Focusing on businesses capable of delivering consistent earnings and cash-flow growth.

The emphasis is on durable growth rather than temporary acceleration, with attention to the quality and sustainability of earnings expansion.

03

Quality

Investing in companies with durable competitive advantages and superior capital allocation.

Quality examines the underlying strength of the business, including its economics, financial resilience, governance and ability to compound capital over time.

04

Institutional Ownership

Tracking institutional participation to understand whether informed long-term capital is increasingly recognising the business.

Institutional ownership provides an additional layer of market validation and helps identify changes in the participation of sophisticated investors.

03 — THE INTERSECTION

MGQI

The four pillars are not intended to function as isolated checklists. The strength of MGQI comes from their intersection.

A company with strong growth may not necessarily be a great investment. A high-quality business may remain overlooked by the market. Strong momentum without underlying business improvement may not be durable.

MGQI seeks situations where multiple signals reinforce one another.

04 — TWO-LAYER ARCHITECTURE

From Selection to Execution

From Selection to Execution

MGQI operates through two complementary layers.

The Fundamental Layer identifies businesses where Momentum, Growth, Quality and Institutional Ownership converge to support long-term compounding.

Once a company qualifies through the fundamental layer, the Technical Execution Layer helps determine how capital is deployed using Relative Strength, price action and volume.

FUNDAMENTAL SELECTION

Momentum • Growth • Quality • Institutional Ownership

Momentum • Growth • Quality • Institutional Ownership

TECHNICAL EXECUTION

04 — INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

From Signals to Conviction

From Signals to Conviction

EVIDENCE OVER NARRATIVES

Investment decisions should be grounded in observable business, financial and market evidence rather than compelling stories alone.

CONFLUENCE OVER ISOLATED SIGNALS

The strongest opportunities emerge when multiple independent indicators point in the same direction.

COMPOUNDING OVER SHORT-TERM PREDICTION

The objective is to identify businesses capable of creating sustainable long-term wealth rather than predicting short-term market movements.

05 — AN EVOLVING FRAMEWORK

A Framework Built to Evolve

MGQI is designed as a continuously evolving research framework. As our understanding improves, the framework will become increasingly systematic, incorporating deeper analysis, quantitative scoring and additional tools without losing its core focus on business quality, sustainable growth and long-term compounding.
