CIM - Positioning Statement?

Hi all,

I figured I would reach out here because I am having trouble and was seeking some quick guidance or help. I am in Business School and have to do a writing assessment for an IB Summer Associate role. The writing assessment is to write the key investment highlights and potential risks after reading a brief client summary. I am told that it should be similar to writing the positioning statement of a CIM.

The only problem is that I have never seen a CIM and when I google it looking for examples, I dont think I am getting the information I am looking for.

My question is, how should I structure it and what should I include aside from just bullet pointing highlights and potential risks? Also, should it be in word, ppt, something else? I only have an hour to do it (tomorrow night) and am flying blind - any quick insight or guidance is much appreciated. Thank you!
