Which are the best 10 high quality stocks to invest in India for the next 10 years?

Investing in stocks directly requires some expertise and time to monitor the portfolio carefully.

A better option is to invest in mutual funds which gets you a professional fund manager doing the job for you. By investing in direct plans, you avoid commissions that help you shave 1.5% or so each year resulting in a corpus that is larger by upto 40%.

You can invest in a mix of equity/debt as per your risk profile too.

Having said that, if you are still keen on stocks, then go for those that meet the following criteria:

1. Debt free
2. High return on capital employed (ROCE)
3. Consistent profit growth over the last 10 years
4. Strong brand
5. A good management team
