Next, of 15 papers mentioned earlier, there were 4 selected papers only from which the winners of this competition would be determined”.

Their paper was aimed at extensively discussing the investment prospect of PT. PP Properti Persero Tbk based on broader perspective. Sunan outline that his team had adopted various perspective ranging from macroeconomics, industry and capital market to conduct an investment analysis on a given company, planning to draw a valid and obvious conclusion. “In the last step, we tried hard to compete against the other 3 paper authors to become first winner in this prestigious agenda, carrying out investment analysis from many perspectives. Only by doing this could we defeat our competitors”, he asserted.
