Cinven Interview -- Case Study Advice

Fellow Monkeys,

I am in the fortunate position of being in the interview process for an internship at Cinven, and got the case study portion of the process scheduled for next week.

I haven't been told anything other than that I will have 2h to do the case study and 1h to present and debrief. It was slightly hinted, that the case study will be more commercially focused, but not much else.

I would be very grateful for any advice on how to approach such case studies in general and of course for any specific experiences regarding the Cinven case study!
