Mitchell Lawler

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) cemented yet another disappointing performance for investors. At the end of trade, the benchmark index was 2.49% further into the doldrums at 6,961.6 points. This also represents the first session close below 7,000 points since May last year.

No sector was spared in today's ASX selloff, with all sectors falling 1% or more throughout the day. This time around we cannot place the blame on the performance of Wall Street overnight — given that it finished in the green. Instead, higher-than-expected inflation figures appear to be a catalyst for selling across the ASX on Tuesday.

The energy sector ended up faring the worst of the bunch today, falling 4.3%. Followed closely behind by tech, miners, and real estate.

However, the question is: which shares delivered the biggest returns to investors on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that came through for investors:
