How Prashant Shah Filters 750 Stocks To Find Just 20 Winners

How do professional investors narrow down hundreds of stocks to a handful of high-conviction winners? In this detailed discussion, Prashant Shah, Founder & CEO of Definedge Securities, breaks down his momentum investing framework that filters a universe of nearly 750 stocks into a focused portfolio of just 20 names. The strategy uses a combination of technical and relative-strength filters, including 200-day moving averages, momentum rankings, trend confirmation and proprietary screening techniques. Stocks are then ranked based on one-year performance and reviewed every month to ensure the portfolio remains aligned with the strongest trends in the market. Rather than trying to predict the future, Shah explains how investors can systematically stay invested in market leaders and potentially outperform benchmark indices over time.
