Stock Pitch Note:

The note need not be longer than 2 pages (Font Size - 10/11). It should include a concise one paragraph investment thesis upfront followed by supporting thesis. What we are looking for is your understanding of the sector and the company as well as your original investment argument. Please refrain from simply quoting facts and figures without any analysis and refrain from copying from broker reports. Adding corporate governance checks would be a positive. Show your originality. We are looking for a stock picker. We realise this is a lot of work and hence please do this only if you are really passionate about equity research and looking for a career in equity research /equity fund management. We realise that ROTI (Return from time invested) in applying to us may be lower than what you may find for other opportunities and hence please do this only if you truly enjoy the process of equity research.

Financial Model:

Submit a financial model if your recommendation is based on a forecast of cash flows. Projection of free cash flows is most important. We prefer using DCF to value non-financial companies and Excess RoE to value financial companies, but you are free to use any method that you feel is reliable for stock picking. If you choose an alternative method, you need to articulate your reasons for choosing the same.
