One of the qualities of a sustainable stock investment is not just short term performance, but the ability to give strong returns over longer periods of time. This stock screener looks at Nifty500 stocks that saw returns of over 50% in one or two years, but also generated very strong five year returns. Many of these stocks are well known, while some are relatively under the radar. 

Bajaj Finance has been the stock name on many fund managers' lips. This was a powerful wealth creator over the past one year as well as a strong five year performer, with the highest five year returns of 1,120% among these fifteen stocks. However, its one year return, while at an astonishing 60.7% has still been beaten by textile manufacturer SRF  as well as housing finance company Manappuram Finance and chemicals company Deepak Nitrite. 

Holding company Bajaj Finserv was next in the list, with returns of 620.8% over five years. Third in line was building materials company APL Apollo Tubes, which has seen a recent recovery from muted share price growth two years ago, rising over 60% in share price over the past year. In five years it generated 447.4% returns.

Capri Global Capital is another stock that has generated both strong short term and long term returns. It jumped 58.7% over one year and over 440% in five years. Pharma company Procter & Gamble Health had risen sharply in 2018, but 2019 was more muted with a 39%+ return compared to the other top performers. See the full screener with 10 year returns and the 49 qualifying stocks here.
