- Proven world-class manager
- Unique investment process
- High conviction, long-only portfolio
WCM’s two key criteria for any company to be considered for inclusion are:

- 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.
