Advice for IB Interview (UK Based; Financing/Commodities Focused IB Shop)

Hi,


I've got an interview with an investment bank who are focused on:

  • Financing (different types of debts - have familiarised myself with definitions on how they work generally);

  • Real estate projects;

  • & Commodities (Alt. Energy, Oil & Gas).


I've been focusing on going over my macreconomic knowledge to understand how commodities and real estate might get affected by changes in supply base rates etc.


I have read more into financing and learnt about overview holistically; starting from structuring debt offerings for clients, then marketing to investors, and finally closing the transaction. Now reading into this on a micro-level and learning more about each part of the cycle (so far read more into into swaps, futures etc.)


I also read more into commodities; specificially I'm relatively familiar with advisory, research, and trading aspects already; but now, I'm reading more into newer parts (to me) like structured finance.


I just wondering what other external financing/commodities reading I could do on topics that would be useful to have an understanding of prior to interviewing.


Thanks.
