Mitchell stumbled upon the concept of investing when in high school, devotedly urging his parents to put some money into a handful of technology companies with increasingly popular products among his demographic – many of which have gone on to great success. It wouldn’t be until 2017, some five years later, that Mitchell became an investor of his own money. Having studied and worked as a mechanical engineer in the building services industry, Mitchell takes a methodical and analytical approach to evaluating businesses. Rather than relying purely on numbers, Mitchell drills beyond a company’s metaphorical mantle to unearth obscure patterns or competitive advantages that would go otherwise unnoticed. His expertise resides within areas such as software, consumer goods, and building services equipment. However, his quest to find quality companies that set the industry standard and flex some degree of an impenetrable position has no limits – small cap to mega cap, cosmetics to healthcare – if it’s an exceptional business it’s on his radar.

Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) recorded its third consecutive red session. At the end of the day, the benchmark index finished 0.14% lower at 7,423.9 points.

A lousy performance from ASX-listed energy and mining companies led to a disappointing day on Aussie markets. The waning enthusiasm in commodities transferred into negative sentiment for some of Australia's biggest resource players. Luckily shares in the utilities and financials sectors stemmed the losses to some extent.

However, the question is: which shares delivered the biggest returns to investors on the ASX today? Here are the ten stocks that rose to the occasion:
