Secondaries PE interview with a large fund
I have an upcoming interview with one of the large PE secondaries funds in London. I have a few questions I was hoping someone could help answer
- What do secondary funds look for in their candidates, vs. a traditional direct PE fund?
- Versus traditional PE, is there more/less emphasis on: financial modelling, relationship building, industry knowledge, market analysis?
- How is the interview structure typically like? Eg: is there a case study, how much emphasis is there on financial modelling, how much emphasis on fit questions?
- If there is a case study, does anyone have an example and solution? I can't seem to find much on the Internet
- Are secondaries transactions more complex or less complex compared to traditional PE?
- What are the main differences in the analysis/modelling when analysing a transaction involving the sale of LP interests, vs. a direct secondaries transaction?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
