Hi all,
I recently completed an interview for a small PE firm and was asked to complete a case study.
The study entails finding an industry that has a few criteria, and then a list of companies within that industry. How can I go about searching for certain industries in a granular way without access to CapIQ/Factset?
Thanks in advance
