Wealth 100 - India's Most Consistent Wealth Creators

Compounding is a thing to behold.

- Karthik Anand Vijay

It is particularly dazzling when it occurs at a high rate for a long period of time. This is what long-term investors seek. In this issue, we revisit our annual Wealth 100 exercise of finding the top 100 wealth creators of the last 10 years. We have been doing this for the past many years and we are sure that our regular readers have benefitted immensely from it.

HOW DID WE ARRIVE AT THIS LIST?

We applied the following filters:

1. In order to remove micro caps, we removed companies that constitute the last 1 per cent of the combined market cap of all listed companies. This cut-off came out to be ₹500 crores, so companies below *500 crore of current market cap have been removed.

2. In order to ensure consistency of wealth creation, we removed those stocks that delivered more than 50 per cent of their total gains over 10 years within a specific year.
