TechnicAl case study | GIC, ADIA etc

I have a technical case study (75 mins) coming up in which I will have to build a financial model for one of these sovereign wealth funds where they’re co-investing (getting a minority interest) with a GP.

CAn someone please tell me how hard are these case studies and are there any quirks with a co-investment lbo model that I should be aware of? I’m guessing by financial model they mean lbo. What can be tested in 75 mins?
