QMoat exists for one reason: to make quality investing practical, disciplined, and repeatable. The heart of that mission is the QMoat Scores Database—your starting point for every stock you research.

The QMoat Scores Database

A clean, decision‑ready view of business quality. Each company is assessed across three pillars and combined into one clear QMoat Score:

1. Quantitative Quality – profitability, cash conversion, balance‑sheet strength, capital discipline, and durability of returns.
2. Qualitative Moat Signals – competitive advantages (scale, switching costs, brand, IP, ecosystem), culture and execution, customer centricity.
3. Corporate Governance & Red Flags – incentives, capital allocation habits, audit/controls, related‑party risks, and other warning signs.

Use the database to filter, sort, and compare companies, scan peer groups, and track score trends over time. It’s built to cut noise, spotlight quality, and help you avoid the hidden traps that erode returns.

Our Philosophy

After almost two decades investing for institutions, we learned one main lesson: the most reliable path to lasting wealth is owning a well‑curated portfolio of truly exceptional businesses—companies with wide, defensible moats that keep competitors at bay and cash flows compounding.

We believe investors should behave more like patient farmers than trophy hunters. Buy quality at a fair price, nurture it through the seasons, and let time and reinvested earnings do the heavy lifting. We’ve seen fads burn out, spreadsheets break at contact with reality, and “cheap” turn expensive once risks surface. Those scars forged our mantra: focus on quality, quality, and quality.
