This guide is a worked example: configuring a Driven Agent for a growth investing strategy. Growth investing has different priorities from value — durability of growth and the size of the opportunity matter more than buying below intrinsic value — and the setup reflects that. For other styles, see Value investing setup and Macro trading setup.

Step 1: Create a dedicated Agent

Step 2: Build the Playbook

Step 3: Set up growth screening

See Screen stocks by fundamentals.

Step 4: Research candidates the growth way

Step 6: Watch the deceleration risk

Common mistakes

  • Ignoring valuation entirely. Growth justifies a premium, not any price. Always check what the valuation implies.
  • Holding through a broken thesis. Growth investing tolerates volatility, but not a genuine breakdown in growth. Distinguish a dip from a deceleration.
  • Chasing the story. A compelling narrative is not the same as durable growth with sound unit economics. The Playbook keeps the focus on fundamentals.
