Hello hello
I've secured a role at a special sits fund, and I'm trying to use some free time I have to upskill before the job starts. I have a strategy consulting background and have majored in finance, so I have an OK understanding of the financial statements but nothing too advanced.
Has anyone any specific advice on what learning would be most helpful? I'm thinking to read 2x books (Moyer's distressed debt analysis + Gatto's credit investor handbook) that are consistently recommended on this forum. However thinking I need some IB/PE Analyst-level course on how to analyse the 3 statements as I'm slightly rusty here as well.
Any advice much appreciated in advance. Thanks all
As a former MBB guy myself just came here to say you absolute goon— congrats that’s amazing.
Also like , firms are pretty biased against consultants so the fact that you got the offer says that they aren’t expecting Moyer
Restructuring interviews dot com course is very worthwhile IMO and faster than reading those books (although still recommend those too). I used it to prep for a lateral move from regular way buyout to special sits and felt it gave me good background of credit / rx stuff.
Congrats! Not specific to SS (have never worked in it, though looked at some distressed at my prior fund), but to your question on 3-statements, just start building models - overly elaborate ones at that. Pick a public co (the weirder the better) and try to build everything at a hyper granular level. Avoid shortcuts and plugs at all costs. Will force you to understand how everything ties into everything else. This won't make you a better investor but will allow you to ensure that your technical base is solid if that's a concern. Value Investors Club, I would guess, probably has some helpful thesis stuff.
