"Whether an investor is covered by the state's offer to arbitrate certain claims is a critical question that often lies at the heart of jurisdictional disputes. If a state has not consented to arbitration with an investor, an arbitral tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear that investor's claim.

As a general matter, covered investors are (1) persons (either natural or juridical) (2) with the requisite nationality who (3) have control over an investment that is entitled to protection under a given agreement."
