Crake Asset Management - HF Analyst Interview

Hey all,


Have a 30min case interview with Crake Asset Management and not sure what to expect or what to practice on. Currently do not focus a lot on modelling at my current place or generating a model from scratch but I have done the WallStPrep modelling programme & went through the WSO HF interview course. Any advice on how to prep?


so far I am thinking of:

Study the fund strategy 

prepare 2 longs & 2 short ideas

go through modelling exercises but I somehow this does not seem to be enough, the model cases i get tend to be structured differently to Wall St Prep models

Ask questions: 

what is your investment process?

what is your risk framework?

what are the typical responsibilities of an analyst here?

who are your primary LPs? are they sticky?

what is the most interesting theme do you find interesting now?
Thanks!
