Build a Winning Portfolio with Peter Lynch’s Selection Rules

Want to build a strong, resilient investment portfolio? Many successful investors turn to timeless principles, and Peter Lynch’s selection rules are a great place to start.

Peter Lynch is one of the most renowned fund managers of all time, best known for managing the Fidelity Magellan Fund and delivering exceptional returns. 

His stock-picking approach focuses on finding quality companies at reasonable prices — a strategy that has inspired investors worldwide.

This post highlights five simple yet powerful criteria Lynch used to choose stocks. They include looking for a trailing P/E ratio below 25 to avoid overpaying, a forward P/E under 15 to ensure future growth is reasonably priced, and a debt-to-equity ratio below 35% for financial stability. 

Lynch also favored companies with strong earnings growth — over 15% — and a PEG ratio below 1.2 to balance growth with value.

For investors in Qatar, where global markets play a key role in wealth building, these filters can help identify companies that are fundamentally solid and less likely to expose you to unnecessary risks.

By following clear, practical rules like these, investors can make more informed decisions and build a portfolio that stands the test of time.
