GSAM Private Equity Group - 30 min interview

Hey guys,

I have a 30 min interview call with the PEG at GSAM and was wondering if any of you had interviewed with them. I can't find any information on the group and the only information I could find online was the PEG description on the GSAM website:

Private Equity Group

Goldman Sachs Private Equity Group (PEG) is a leading investor in private equity funds, is a significant co-investor in direct investments, and is an active provider of liquidity and portfolio management solutions to existing private equity investors. PEG's comprehensive global private equity program seeks to construct a diversified private equity portfolio and considers each potential investment's strategy, geographic focus, competitive advantages, and return profiles, including how a particular opportunity may affect the portfolio's volatility and risk.

Based in New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and San Francisco, the Private Equity Group consists of over 85 professionals. PEG casts a wide net in an effort to identify the best private equity fund managers in the world. PEG primarily makes commitments to private equity funds located in the United States, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, Latin America and Asia with strategies that include leveraged buyouts, growth financings, natural resources, venture capital and distressed securities. PEG believes that its reputation and access to the resources of Goldman Sachs may provide significant advantages to its investments. PEG maintains an –open-door policy with respect to potential investments, and welcomes information regarding prospective private equity fund offerings and secondary investment opportunities.

Any advice on how to prepare for the interview or any additional information would be really helpful.
