Investments

WCM’s two criteria for any company to be considered for inclusion in their portfolios are:

  1. a rising competitive advantage (or expanding economic moat) and
  2. a corporate culture that supports the expansion of this moat.
WCM believes the direction of a company’s economic moat is of more importance than its absolute width or size. WCM is the investment adviser of WCM Global Growth Limited (ASX:WQG), the WCM Quality Global Growth Fund (Quoted Managed Fund) (ASX:WCMQ), the WCM Quality Global Growth Fund (Managed Fund) and the WCM International Small Cap Growth Fund (Managed Fund).
