8.1 projected profit and loss.
Please note that in the third year one investment is written off as a failure, producing a $5 million cost which ends up showing a loss for the year of nearly $5 million. The sale of equity at the end of the period enters the sales forecast and the profit and loss statement as a $45 million gain.

The Cash Flow shows four $5 million investments made in the first few months of the plan.
In the third year, one of the target companies fails, so $5 million is written off as failure. You’ll see that shows as a $5 million sale of long-term assets in the cash flow, and a balancing entry of $5 million in costs of sales in the profit and loss, making for a loss and write-off that year. The result is a tax loss, and the balance of investments goes to $15 Million.
In the fifth year, another investment is transacted at $50 million. This shows up as a $5 million equity appreciation in the Sales Forecast, plus a $5 million sale of long-term assets in the Cash Flow. At that point there’s been a $45 million profit and the balance of long-term assets goes down to $10 million.
The partners invest an additional $100,000 in the fourth year as additional working capital to balance the cash flow of the company.

You can see in the balance sheet how the ending balances for long-term assets were not re-valued. They remain at the original purchase price until they are sold, or written off as a complete loss. There is a $5 million write-off in the third year, and a sale of $5 million worth of assets in the last year. That sale of $5 million in assets produces the $5 million sale at book value plus the $45 million gain in the sales forecast and profit and loss table.

Step-by-Step Guide to Understanding the Pitchbook in Investment Banking
Learn Online Now
The Pitchbook in investment banking is a marketing document presented by firms to existing and potential clients to sell their advisory services.
In investment banking , a pitchbook serves as a marketing presentation to convince an existing client or potential client to hire their firm for advising on the matter at hand.
For example, the pitch book could be used in a “bake-off” among various competing firms for the same client to provide M&A advisory services to a client interested in acquiring a competitor, or a private company seeking to raise capital in the public markets via an initial public offering ( IPO ).
The standard sections of a pitch book in investment banking consist of a situational overview and the background of the firm, specifically the notable members of the group, and any relevant deal experience that pertains to the client, i.e. the purpose of these slides is to make the case that the firm is the most qualified to take on the client.
Beyond the background of the firm, the transaction merits are also discussed, with the high-level analysis supporting their key findings, which sets the foundation for how the client would be advised if chosen (i.e. the estimated valuation of the client, list of potential buyers or sellers, commentary on the firm’s recommended strategy, risks and mitigating factors, etc.).

We separated the following pitchbook out, since the context of this document is actually controversial.
Oracle made it available to the world, claiming they received the deck when Qatalyst, acting as Autonomy’s advisor, pitched Autonomy to Oracle.
Qatalyst and Autonomy, however, dispute this claim, with Qatalyst saying they were not as Autonomy’s advisor, but rather pitching ideas to Oracle to win a buy-side mandate.
With that said, here’s the deck.

The nature of the feud is interesting, as it sheds light on how investment banking pitches are presented to clients. Therefore, I recommend everyone read the DealBreaker article below.
Frank Quattrone Probably Didn’t Want Everyone To See This Particular Pitchbook “People who have real jobs are sometimes surprised to learn how much of investment banking consists of hopeless pitching. Your team puts together a forty-page slide deck with sixty pages of appendices, proofreads it repeatedly, updates numbers every day for two weeks, and prints a dozen glossy spiral-bound copies. Then you lug them halfway across the continent, slog through the first five pages with an increasingly bored potential client, are politely rebuffed, and then cleverly ask “hey do you want any extra copies of the presentation for your colleagues?” so you don’t have to carry them back on the plane. Glamorous work.” Source: Dealbreaker

Discover all the doors a solid business plan can help open for you, including business banking accounts, loans and other forms of funding. Presented by Chase for Business .
Whether you're starting your first business or your company is seeking funding , a business plan is essential for charting your path to success.
A well-written and researched business plan can act as a roadmap that outlines your plan for selling and marketing your products and services, making profits and growing over a period of three to five years. Your plan can also help position your company within the industry and set your business apart from competitors.
With the right tools and a little excitement, you can write a business plan. In this article, you'll learn how to write a business plan in a step-by-step process.
To get in the right frame of mind and gather necessary details for writing an effective business plan, ask yourself the following questions:
Knowing the answers to these questions will help guide the structure and cadence of your business plan.
Your business plan should be a well-researched, actionable document that you can return to again and again. To get the information you need, use the following tactics when writing a business plan:
Ask yourself, who will read my business plan, and what kind of information do they need? For example, if you’re looking for funding, you should include plenty of financial data and forecasting. If you’re seeking to bring on new business partners, you should include a detailed section where you outline how the business intends to support growth over the next three to five years.
If you want to share your business plan with different types of stakeholders, think about writing more than one version. This will allow you to make sure every reader has the right, targeted details about your business.
Writing and researching a business plan gives you the opportunity to learn more about your industry, market, competitors, audience, local government, suppliers, sales channels and more. It also allows you to assess risk related to your market or supply chain.
To do this research, you can start by looking for online data related to your industry and target audience. It’s a good idea to include data that's recent enough to still be relevant and from a credible source.
With a bit of patience, the information you need can be found online for free. Services also exist that provide customized data for a fee — which can be a good option for business owners without the luxury of time.
When writing a business plan, you’re naturally going to be excited, and it may feel easy to think positively and overestimate how well your business will perform. Optimism may cause you future distress when investors or business partners expect more than your business is able to provide.
It’s always better to aim low and blow your projections out of the water than to do the opposite. Make your business plan as realistic as possible. When you include accounting data, carefully consider the market, your competitors and the demand for your products.
Although financial projections, product descriptions and management charts serve as the focus for most business plans, including a vision statement can help you personalize your goals and refer back to your initial mission.
In this section, briefly discuss your reason for starting the business, share any underlying motivations and hypothesize on how your company can contribute to a larger cause.
As you write your business plan, it's tempting to include every detail about your company. Before you know it, your market analysis alone might be 10 pages long. If your business plan becomes too big, it may become less actionable, or your readers may not devote the time to reading and comprehending it.
Take care to feature only the essential data when you write your business plan. Be sure to include the standard sections mentioned above.
A good suggestion is to feature a page or two for each section plus any financial statements or resumes. If you have additional research or notes that don't fit neatly into your plan, keep them on file for your own internal use.
Most business plans tend to be text-heavy — but that doesn’t mean you can’t make yours visually appealing for the reader. Include relevant graphics, pictures, charts and diagrams.
Focus on presenting your information and storytelling in a clear way that doesn’t require additional context to be understood. Keep the formatting as simple as possible. Use a classic serif font like Times New Roman to maintain readability. The last thing you want is for investors to focus more on your font choice than your financial projections.
A business plan can help you review your idea and put actionable goals in place. Once you’ve worked out the details, a business banker can walk you through important next steps like setting up a business checking account .

In the dynamic and ever-evolving investment banking industry, the ability to effectively manage risk and volatility is a critical factor for success. One of the key strategies employed by elite investment banks like Elite Investment Partners is the implementation of a diversified investment portfolio . By spreading their clients' assets across a range of asset classes, industries, and geographical regions, these institutions are able to mitigate the impact of market fluctuations and provide more stable returns over the long term.
According to a recent industry report, investment banks with a well-diversified portfolio saw an average annual return of 8.2% over the past five years, compared to just 5.1% for those with a more concentrated investment approach. This highlights the tangible benefits of portfolio diversification in the investment banking sector, where volatility can often pose a significant challenge to achieving consistent financial performance.
In addition to mitigating volatility, a diversified investment portfolio also allows investment banks to capitalize on a broader range of growth opportunities . By allocating resources to a diverse set of investments, these institutions can better position themselves to take advantage of shifting market conditions and changing investor preferences. This agility and adaptability are critical in an industry where the ability to anticipate and respond to market dynamics can make the difference between success and failure.

At Elite Investment Partners, this principle is the foundation of their business model, enabling them to stand out in a crowded market and deliver exceptional value to their clients.
The investment banking industry is often perceived as impersonal, with large institutions focusing more on transactions than on fostering meaningful connections. Elite Investment Partners, however, has made client-centric service a top priority, recognizing that personalized attention and tailored solutions are the keys to unlocking sustainable growth and client loyalty. By adopting a client-first approach, the firm has been able to differentiate itself from its competitors and establish a reputation for excellence in the SME and individual investor segments.
The impact of this client-centric focus is evident in the firm's impressive track record. Over the past three years, Elite Investment Partners has achieved a client retention rate of 92% , significantly outpacing the industry average of 82% .

By focusing on personalized service and strategic financial solutions, Elite Investment Partners aims to empower smaller market players, such as SMEs and individual investors, with the tools and expertise needed to achieve their financial objectives. This approach not only democratizes high-end investment banking advice but also ensures client-centric service, fostering long-term relationships and financial success.
In a recent survey, 78% of SMEs and individual investors expressed a strong preference for investment banking services that offer personalized solutions tailored to their needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This underscores the importance of innovative financial solutions as a key factor for success in the investment banking business.
