2nd year BB IB coverage analyst here. I am interviewing with Lexington Partners & HarborVest (both PE secondaries investment) for Summer 2023.
Has anyone have any insight on their case study (2-hour LBO)? I read through previous WSO posts on PE secondaries, Hamilton Lane, other competitors etc but couldn't find anything useful. Thanks!

Hi Analyst 2 in IB - Cov, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
Hi. Have you finished the interview? How is going? I also need to interview with Lexington Partner
Went through the process with Lexington and it was a 2 hour LBO from scratch on a public company and you were given 10k and 10Q. You have to build a 3 statement model with a full blown balance sheet. Also asked for downside case toggles. Pretty tight timeframe so I thought it was hard.
Same here. Did you finish the model?
