Stock pitch for interview process

Hi all - currently a coverage IB analyst at a MM bank interviewing for a couple of multi-manager hedge funds. I am in the stock pitch part of the process. Can you all give me some advice on how these pitches should usually be structured and how do you all screen for opportunities and form a differentiated view. Would love any advice here or if you could point me to some relevant articless

Sweet I'm also an AN1 at MM in coverage group so glad to hear HFs are open to our background. From a resources standpoint I found these when I was looking around:

It seems like you should come into interviews with a long and short pitch as well. Have you been getting interviews from HH? How have they been? I've been prepping for PE recruiting and modeling but the more I dig into it the less I want to do it... any insight you could give would be great and I can post any other info I find too, cheers
