WSO Technical Guide: Useful For AM Interviews?

I'm hoping to land a job in investment/Asset Management, so I'm starting to prepare for interviews. I was wondering if the WSO Technical Guide would still be worthwhile, even though it's more focused on IB?

Asset Management Career Roadmap (optional)

“The session gave me a clear plan for moving from back office to front office. I now have a concrete next step for finalizing my “why”: how my Corporate Actions experience sparked my interest in deal valuation. I’ll build that into my TMAY answers. I’ll run my resume through the Academy AI review, revise it, and then schedule the 30-minute Short Resume Review. After your feedback, I’ll collect additional mentor reviews, including from someone IB-focused, and tailor my wording for each target track. I also appreciated the advice to use my existing client and front-office contacts as warm leads, to network internally with front-office teams, and to stay flexible on firm and location.”

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Today’s session was amazing and incredibly useful. My mentor was a massive help with both networking and interview preparation, particularly for my ongoing HSBC programme application. He helped me understand how to approach networking more effectively and gave me valuable advice on preparing for the next stage of the recruitment process. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into helping me, and I left the session feeling more confident and clear about my next steps. As always, he was very kind, approachable and easy to speak with, which made the whole experience even better.”

I read the WSO technical guide when it originally came out and it is not focused solely on IB and is very applicable to AM. For example, the guide covers the following:

CAPM Beta WACC Capital Structure PE Ratios Stock Diversification Technical vs. Fundamental Analysis Bonds Currencies Etc.

I dont know what Patrick currently charges for the guide but I definitely found it useful. I work in PE but have a general interest in AM, at least as it pertains to my own PA and performance.
