Can Someone Clarify What the MD is Looking for in a Modelling Question?

Background, I am finishing up my 2nd year full time investment banking. Recently I got a 1st round phone interview with private equity tech fund. At the end of the interview, the MD on the other end of the call gave me a couple of tasks to do:

  1. Pitch a stock in their field of interest
  2. Analyze 2 stocks in their current portfolio
  3. Analyze a stock of my interest.

She told me that I need to do these things and will "have a call next week" to discuss what I have done. She gave me an email to send any "work that I have done".

Couple of questions:

  1. Since its over the phone, what type of submissions do I need to make? Should I do a banking style pitch book for each topic plus a model?
  2. If its over the phone, do I have to go along my slides for each topic assuming I do a pitchbook?

The MD is giving me another hour on the phone next week to basically go over 4 pitches. At 15 minutes each, what should the content of my pitches be, and how would I go about presenting this to her?

 

Sint alias nulla iusto. Aspernatur qui eius minus est eum. Sint provident id ut. Soluta accusamus repellendus consequuntur nihil mollitia aut velit.

Nisi incidunt delectus tempora quia sequi laborum rerum consequatur. Eligendi non eius ut corrupti. Voluptatem officia minima vero magni ipsam distinctio. Tenetur culpa aut nemo ea autem et.

Aut quo similique minus facilis nulla voluptatem ut. Nemo et sapiente sint quia autem assumenda. Expedita ullam nostrum ratione illo sed reiciendis nulla.
