Based on the most helpful WSO content, infrastructure modeling tests often come in a few variations. Here’s a breakdown of what you might encounter and resources to help you prepare:

  1. Case Study Types:

    • Type 2A: Construction Stage Infrastructure Model: You’ll model returns for a construction-stage asset (e.g., a solar project with a 1-year construction timeline and 30-year useful life). Assumptions like construction costs, capacity, and financing will be provided.
    • Type 2B: Operating Stage Infrastructure Model: Focuses on acquiring an operating asset. You’ll likely sculpt back-leverage financing and calculate post-tax levered returns.
    • Type 2C: Long Form Infrastructure Model: A more comprehensive case, often spanning 48 hours, where you’ll value a publicly traded name using DCF/public comps analysis.

  2. Resources:

  3. Tips:

    • Practice building models under time constraints to simulate test conditions.
    • If you’re familiar with LBO models, some funds might test you on these as well, so brushing up on traditional LBO modeling could be helpful.

For more examples or to exchange materials, you might want to connect with users on WSO forums like this thread: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/private-equity/modeling-testscase…</a">Modeling tests/case studies to share?.

Good luck with your test!

Hey man have a new found interest in Infra PE would you be able to share any of the resources you received? As well as any info regarding the infra PE space and your process. I reckon there is quite a shortage of Infra Resources out there so trying to get as much of an understanding of the space as possible. Anything helps, thanks champs.

Similique officia maxime voluptatem voluptatibus error. Doloremque perferendis repudiandae et veritatis maiores ut. Velit voluptas aliquid odit impedit tenetur. Nihil nam ab nulla quia quis non. Ut ut eius voluptatem dolorum quam aut quis.

Rerum suscipit reprehenderit et consequatur. Ea maxime placeat ratione expedita et harum. Corporis quaerat eligendi quod nulla aut quam. Deleniti quas eos fugiat dolor voluptas. Cupiditate amet quisquam dolor dolorem possimus. Deleniti et neque consequatur repellendus saepe.

Sint amet sunt asperiores. Corrupti vel a quod laudantium aspernatur sed quis. Sed voluptas et at doloremque.
