Planning / Strategy for the Pitch (Elevator and Investor Pitch) The main strategy for the elevator’s pitch involved adding all the key statistics about Philippines in which the country stands out in comparison to its counterparts. Post explaining about the key statistics and some of the highlights about the country, the idea was to explain the main sectors in the country as per the GDP contribution so that the investors are aware of the avenues in which they could invest. Post explaining the sectors, the next idea was to highlight the lucrative schemes and policies that will lure the investors to invest in the country. Finally, some plus points about the work force and literacy rates was also mentioned to give investors some additional information about the country. For the investors pitch, a financial model based out of “Capital Asset Pricing Model” was developed to find out the return on investment for every sector chosen and the country on a whole. Post that, an FDI/FPI portfolio calculator was developed that provided the investors with CAGR based on the number of years of investment they chose.
