Macquarie Superday

I've got a Superday with Macquarie coming up next week and was hoping you guys could give some insight as to what I should expect. I've heard they can get pretty technical, but I'd assume they ask typical I-banking questions as well.

I know they're trying to move away from the strictly infrastructure investing and expand into more MM advisory, but should I still know about valuing toll roads, infrastructure etc.? Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

Quick, two 45 minute interviews. Fairly technical. They like to ask about valuing utilities, so know a bit about that. Also know about market trends, especially in the debt markets.

 

Standard DCF questions, accounting, and other questions related to calculating/assessing risk of cash flows. I was asked to determine, between Project A and B, what project to invest in based on the cash flows and their risk profile.

From what I heard, probability questions at Macq interviews are certainly not uncommon. The interviewer ran me a non-finance related scenario of a series of events happening, and asked me to determine the probability of X occurring. So brush up on your decision tree probability analysis.

They love to make you really think. If you do a search on this forum, there were a lot of good topics that helped me during my interview with them.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
