Private Equity Analyst

Hello Monkeys,

So I will summering at a UMM P/E fund and would like to be as ready as possible to hit the desk. I have no investment banking background (many of the people at the firm do, however), does anyone have any good reading materials, news sources, general advice? I would really like to not be useless this summer. Thank you!
