Placement agent - private equity fundraising job

Hello,

I have a case study round with a top tier placement agent (think greenhill, lazard, pjt/parkhill) for private equity fundraising. Could anyone give me some insight on what to prepare for? The case study will take c.90mins.

Many Thanks,

Falcon

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”
