Hey not OP but couple follow ups - how in depth to we need to be on numbers compared to our deal walk through? do they expect a full valuation or is it more so about describing the business and making a thesis? would appreciate any info

 

No you don't need a public stock pitch (if that was really the question). You should though be prepared to discuss the deals on your resume (from internship or desk-time if started), per my response above.

If you have no deals, then it can't hurt to have a few ideas of businesses (public or private) that you like (ideally in the sector of the firm interviewing you) and why you'd invest.

 

OP, you're asking a question about PE in the HF forum. Everyone here thinks you're interviewing for a HF.
