Got asked in an interview what id include in a pitchbook for a buyside deal. I was kinda confused because I thought pitchbooks were for sell side deals. I didn’t know what to say so I said some stuff you’d put in a sell side one and added that you’d tailor it to the purchaser or maybe even the IC if it’s a sponsor deal.
Was this a trick question? This was a while ago at Cain Brothers.
