We all make judgments about it every day. Yet articulating a clear definition of quality in an investing context is challenging. This book addresses the challenge, and distills years of practical investing experience into a definitive account of this under-explored investment philosophy. Finance theory has it that abnormal outcomes do not persist, that exceptional performance will soon enough become average performance. Quality investing involves seeking companies with the right attributes to overcome these forces of mean reversion and, crucially, owning these outstanding companies for the long term. This book pinpoints and explains the characteristics that increase the probability of a company prospering over time - as well as those that hinder such chances. Throughout, a series of fascinating real-life case studies illustrate the traits that signify quality, as well as some that flatter to deceive. The authors' firm, AKO Capital, has a strong track record of finding and investing in quality companies - helping it deliver a compound annual growth rate more than double that of the market since inception. Quality Investing sheds light on the investment philosophy, processes and tough lessons that have contributed to this consistent outperformance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 0857195123 | | Dimensions | 6.55 x 0.75 x 9.55 inches | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 9780857195128 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0857195128 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 350 pages | | Publication Date | January 5, 2016 | | Publisher | Harriman House | ## Images ![Quality Investing: Owning the best companies for the long term - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YZo72wUhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shockingly good. Another reviewer complains that there's no "framework" here *by B***N on June 30, 2016* Shockingly good. Another reviewer complains that there's no "framework" here. Thank God. Look, in some fields no matter how far you progress there's another framework - solid, concise, complex, interlocking body of knowledge - to be learned. Classical mechanics > electromagnetics > quantum, etc. More commonly in other fields there's some basic useful framework everyone should learn right away, but once that's mastered progress is all about filling your head with and deeply internalizing a huge number of relatively simple facts, stories, and patterns. (Of course academics and their imitators do not accept this reality and pretend instead that the structure of knowledge in micro, macro, or psych - don't even get me started on biases/heuristics popularizations - can be reduced to a series of neat interlocking frameworks.) Anyhow this book is packed dense with these useful chunks, and the more you've got stored away the more likely a light bulb of familiarity flickers in your head when you crack open a new 10-K. For example, there's this company called Clearone that I've followed awhile that makes puzzlingly high gross margins considering what they do - video conferencing equipment. But it clicked when I read this book's chapter on how friendly middlemen can create unusually strong businesses, i.e. optometrists always recommending a particular brand of high quality glasses because he cares not at all about price. Clearone sells to a friendly non-price sensitive middleman - big system integrators that do large scale technology installments for universities, corporations, hospitals, etc. Anyhow, the book is great, dense, legitimately useful, and minimally redundant with other investing books because it skips the usual routine of either romanticizing basic value investing concepts or trying to force fit some artificial framework on the tangled mess of knowledge that is useful to investing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Read for Investors *by M***. on March 21, 2026* One of the best books on investing i've ever read and shocking to me that its not known as a classic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Book *by J***L on June 25, 2016* The book was well written with plenty of examples. The book could have been a little deeper, but is good when taken at a high level. ## 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.us/products/24713811-quality-investing-owning-the-best-companies-for-the-long-term](https://www.desertcart.us/products/24713811-quality-investing-owning-the-best-companies-for-the-long-term) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
