Credit Fund - General interview questions for Grad (topics for interview, EBITAR, case study)

Hi,
I will be interviewing for a grad position at a private debt fund and coming from a legal background with a masters in finance. 1st question is general about the technical topics you'd recommend to prepare, I've so far spotted 3 main areas being: - Private Equity / LBO Models / Strategic rationale - Legal considerations : covenants, types of debt, subordination, insolvency ... - Some financial markets stuff (?) option/bond pricing, callable/putable, interest rates trends Would there be other things you'd recommend studying or things mentioned you think are irrelevant ?

2nd question is really straight forward: In net debt adjustments there's the typical EBITDAR/Adj Net Debt. Why do we actually do that since rents sould always be senior to interests payments ?

3rd question : any insights on an actual credit analysis case study I could do to practice ?

Thanks a bunch :) !

Private Equity Career Roadmap (optional)

“I had my roadmap session with Arnau, and it was extremely valuable. As he is also a civil engineer from Spain, I felt comfortable from the start, and he quickly understood my background and career goals. He helped me identify the roles and types of companies I should target given my experience in infrastructure and project finance. He also gave me practical advice on how to position my profile and prioritize my applications. He is clearly very committed to his mentees, and his guidance was honest and tailored to my situation. I left the session with a much clearer plan, and I will definitely book another session with him in the future.”

Private Equity Short Resume Review / Recap

“Very good planning prior to the meeting and effective notes that allowed the session to go quickly and effectively. We covered a lot of topics on the resume and I recieved a good amount of notes that I can correct my resume in order to make it more specific for the PE companies I will work with. Was very helpful in the way of bringing out niche skills I have in order to maximise my chances at differentiating myself from more typical IB candidates. Also provided good insights on the MBA process, what is valuable and the WHY side of P.E. which I will go into depth with in my WHY statements that I am going to do. ”
