HF Interview Prep. PLEASE HELP
I have a first round interview with a small hedge fund next week for a Financial Modeling role. Super small fund, ~200mm AUM, and it appears they've outsourced the HR function to a recruiter, with whom I'll be speaking.
The recruiter says there will be a short calculation exercise that we'll do via zoom (I assume I'll share my screen), where he will provide financial information of a company and I will have to perform calculations of some "financial ratios".
Has anyone had an interview similar to this? How can I prepare? What ratios do you think are relevant to know?
I'm a CFA L3 candidate, and relatively well versed in corporate finance, but don't want to be thrown off guard by any random calculations he may ask for.
Cheers!
Review all the ratios in CFA booklet? We don't know how this fund invests so it's hard to say whether they focus on return on capital ratios or liquidity / solvency ratios, KNOW THEM ALL.
What matters more: they want to hear your interpretation of how ratios for a company have changed over time (and what they can be in the future based on historical trends and where business is going).
