Sovereign Wealth Fund Interview

I have an upcoming interview for an internship position at a sovereign wealth fund in their PE team. The fund only operates in the co-investment, secondaries and funds market and doesn’t do direct buyouts. What sort of questions should I expect?

For context, from my understanding the structure of the assessment centre is as follows:

35 minute group case study using pre-sent materials

15 minute individual interview

1.5 hrs of lunch/networking with people from the firm

I appreciate any and all insight, thank you!
