Case Study Prep Help

Hi guys,

I was wanting to know how to best prepare for fund manager case studies in interviews. I've got an interview at a large fund manager for a graduate role and I was informed there will be a case study but no specific details were provided.

What kind of things should I prepare for and what are the best online resources to prepare for it? Any helpful guides/posts on WSO (thoughts on the Hedge Fund Guide?)

Thanks for any input
