How are the models structured for fund investments?
Is there a fund level waterfall model with linked LBOs to each portco?
Have a case study coming up and don't want to waste time thinking about how to set it up.

There is no modeling in FoF investments.
Not sure why the MS, interned at a FoF doing primaries, secondaries and co-investments and then spent 2 years at an LP before moving to secondaries advisory… and there’s no modeling involved for fund investments. It’s simply GP evaluation and more macro / thematic evaluation. The only modeling I could think of would be cash flow / portfolio allocation modeling but that’s internal for an LP not to evaluate a manager. You’re literally committing to a blind pool… there’s no assets to model.
