Investment Analyst

Was initially contacted by HR for a first round interview over a phone call, mostly discussed previous work experience and motivational questions on why CA, why funds investing, etc.

Was then contacted to complete a case study (evaluating funds) over two days, and was asked to send it back before another round of interviews discussing the case study with Senior Associates. Also completed a simple Excel skills test and writing test on the same day.

One week later, was asked to come back to the CA offices to speak to all the Investment Directors and Partners for the team I was interviewing for at the offices.

Subsequently contacted for a F2F interview with two Investment Associates, and spoke to them about past experiences and motivations for joining CA. Was asked general questions about FOF investing, how to evaluate funds, etc.

The whole interview process was quite long but very thorough - they really focus on your motivations for joining the firm, and lots of questions on what I thought about the PE/VC landscape given that I had prior experience evaluating funds in the region at my role. I spoke to 7 people in total and the process was very professional. No bad actors whatsoever with the firm.
