Best way to prep for CIM based case study?
As the title suggests, I'm anticipating having to do a CIM based case study where I'll be given a certain amount of time to look one over and then have to answer questions from interviewers based on it. I recently completed my summer analyst stint so I've been exposed to a bunch of CIM's and feel like I'm well equipped to be able handle questions like this but am wondering if there's any resources out there I can leverage in the meantime to make sure I'm prepared. Thanks.
I just did one of these for an UMM firm - you can expect the following based on my experience and what my current firm typically looks for:
- High level overview on the business that touches on what the company actually does and their financial profile
- Key investment considerations and why they would be attractive to a buyer
- Your thoughts and insight on historical performance and financial outlook
- Risks associated with the business and how you would position around them
- How you would run the process (sell now, time of year to sell, anything that would detract from selling now, etc.)
- Different types of buyers you would include on a buyer list
Good luck!
Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated!
How did it go? Any tips/advise on how you structured your answer? Have one coming up soon
What do you mean by “positioning around” certain risks? do you mean how you would operate and finance the business to mitigate the risk?
DM me if interested in case studies and modelling tests, I have a good few (some with full CIM). Best way to prep IMO.
