Introduction

Although fundamental education is necessary for learning any skill, the ability to master a skill

comes from the application of that education to an individuals real-world experience. As a student-

run charity, Investors of Tomorrow is aware of this division between theory and application, andstrives to close the gap between the two modes of learning for students who wish to master their

financial skills.

Inspired by this educational gap, Investors of Tomorrow was founded in 2002. We operate with a

vision to expand the horizons of youth everywhere to opportunities in the capital markets and to

emphasize the fundamentalimportance of saving and investing. Acquiring the skills early in life to

make informed investment decisions are the cornerstones to future financial freedom and

subsequent success.

Investors of Tomorrow has provided the opportunity for students to learn from industry

professionals about the often misconceived world of finance and the capital markets. Our

workshops, seminars, forums, and the unique InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition foster the

development of financial literacy and give youth the hands-on experience necessary for todays

competitive world.

We stronglybelieve that this education is the foundation of Canadas future economic prosperity.

Whether we help create a future business leader, a successful investor, or another financially

literate Canadian, we believe we havecontributed to the fabric of our society and the future of our

generation.

Our Mission

Our mission is centered on two fundamental principles: to promote financial literacy, and connect

students with industry professionals and top-tiered financial institutions. This mission has been filled

through the operation of workshops, forums, and the uniquely developed InvestYoung Stock PitchCompetition, which is designed as a hands-on experience in securities analysis and market

awareness. Through Investors of Tomorrow, students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge

and skills as they interact with corporate representatives and further enhance their financial

intellect.

Our VisionIn accordance with our mission, Investors of Tomorrow will strive toward a vision of innovative

expansion, in particular, with our flagship event, The InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition. As an

organization dedicated to continuously challenging students to reach their greatest potential, the

Stock Pitch Competition will focus on testing relevant skills and abilities valued in the finance

industry. Ultimately, Investors of Tomorrow will connect high caliber students with renowned

financial corporations, and will serve as the bridge between academic accomplishment and

corporate success.

Our Plan

Using The InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition, Investors of Tomorrow will allow participants to

learn how to analyze companies, develop a keen eye for opportunity, create an effective pitch, and

much more. Competitors will also have the opportunity to hear and learn from experienced industryexecutives and professionals through their attendance at the competition.

Operational Overview & Details

Investors of Tomorrows operations are threefold: simulated competition, exposure to experienced

industry professionals, and access to a valuable networking forum. It also features The InvestYoung

Scholarship, an award given to a first-year post-secondary student who has demonstratedexcellence through academics and extra-curricular activities.

The InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition

In September 2010, Investors of Tomorrow developed a competition as an opportunity for post-

secondary students to learn and demonstrate the skills needed in analyzing, organizing, and

presenting a pitch for publicly traded securities. We strive to deliver a platform for students to apply

skills and knowledge learned in the classroom while networking with industry professionals.

Through this competition, we aim to provide a window into the financial services industry and to

solidify future career aspirations.

The InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition is a team-based initiative that develops analytical

thinking and presentation skills and outlines the roles of key industries in the Canadian economy.

The competition consists of two rounds. In the First Round, competitors will submit, and

subsequently present, a thoroughly structured analysis of a publicly traded company that they

believe is a sound investment. Following the First Round pitches, judges will use a point-based

score to provide feedback on the competitors analysis and presentations, with more emphasis on

the latter. They will also provide all teams with a stock to pitch for the next round.

The Second Round will give competitors the chance to showcase their raw research and analytica

skills with their pitch for the assigned security. Additionally, competitors will have only the night after

the first round to prepare their pitches, truly testing their teamwork and time management

capabilities. Upon completion of all second round presentations, judges will assign a points-basedscore to each team based on their analysis and research. With the end of the second round, the

Investors of Tomorrow executive team will tally the points from both rounds and announce the

winning first year and second year teams. The winners will receive a monetary prize and sponsored

award.

This year the competition will be held in early February in Downtown Toronto. First and second

years will compete, with third and fourth year students serving as assistant judges. Industry

professionals will be invited as speakers and judges.

our organization is to provide our participants with opportunities to learn from the experience of
