Secondaries Fund 75mins Modelling Test

Hi Guys,

I'm interviewing with a large secondaries fund and was asked to complete a model test (1.15 hours) held over VC. Any insights on what kind of model it would be and how should I prepare for it? 75-min might be too short for LBO? Will it just be a waterfall calculation? Thanks

Private Equity LinkedIn Review

“Helpful session. We went through my LinkedIn profile line by line, and the feedback was honest and practical, not generic advice you could find online. A few things I thought were fine actually needed rewording, and once they pointed them out it made total sense. I also came away with some specific points to add that I hadn’t considered, especially around how I present my M&A and project finance experience. I’ve already started making changes and the profile feels a lot more polished. Thanks a lot!”

“The mentor was very knowledgeable and experienced and have a similar background as me being also an international student, so a lot of the anecdotes he provided feel really relatable and resonates with me. He also provided me with a clear timeline as to what I should do NOW, and answered the questions I posed very directly, which I appreciate. ”
