  • Have a strong history of earnings growth
  • Are attractively priced, relative to the company’s potential for above average long-term earnings and revenue growth
  • Have strong balance sheets
  • Have a sustainable competitive advantage
  • Are currently, or have the potential to become, industry leaders
  • Have the potential to outperform during market downturns
