                     What Is Coffee Can Investing Strategy
A "buy and forget" method is what is meant by "coffee can investing." The stock market 
is uncertain and volatile in the short term, but as the time horizon lengthens, it gets 
less volatile and simpler to anticipate. The Coffee Can Investing approach leverages this 
aspect of the stock market and makes long-term investments in the market.
How to Create a portfolio using Coffee Can 
Investing Strategy?
The main goal of Coffee Can Portfolio is to choose high-quality stocks for the long term. 
Investors should only put money into companies with solid fundamentals, keeping in mind 
the following considerations:
1). Select companies whose market cap is greater than 100 crores
You only select companies with market capitalizations exceeding 100 crores for your Coffee Can 
portfolio. With a market cap below 100 crores, there is little quality information present in the market 
regarding these companies, and it is possible that their financial information may be misleading.
2). Check whether a company has generated a ROCE of 15% or more in the last 10 
years
An important measure of capital efficiency and profitability is Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). By 
analyzing the profits generated by a company, we can determine how well the company is investing its 
capital. The higher the ROCE, the better the company is at deploying its capital.
For a company to beat the cost of capital, it must earn a minimum ROCE of 15%. An investment 
strategy that generates more returns than the cost of capital is known as the golden rule.
The nominal GDP growth rate for India between 2007 and 2017 averaged 13.8%. Nominal GDP is the rate at which the 
GDP of a country grows without considering inflation. Over a 10-year period, a good company with strong brand value 
and mass appeal needs to generate at least 10% growth.
Keeping these figures in mind, the team set up portfolios going back to year 1991 and the results clearly showed that 
such a collection of companies beat the Sensex across all time periods. The Coffee Can portfolio beat the market even 
during the 2008 financial crisis.
