Hi there! I haven’t completed a specific case study for an investment role, but I can share some insights on what you might typically encounter and how to prepare.
Understanding the Case Study: For strategy and investments roles, the case study might involve analyzing a particular investment opportunity, sector, or fund performance. You may be asked to assess market trends, financial statements, valuation methods, and risk factors. Sometimes, it might even involve making recommendations based on the findings.
Key Areas to Focus On:
Market Research: Be prepared to analyze competitive landscape and market positioning.
Data Interpretation: Often, you’ll need to interpret data presented in tables or charts. Practice drawing insights from graphs, and make sure you’re comfortable presenting your analysis clearly and concisely.
Structured Framework: During the case study, use a structured framework to approach your analysis. This might include defining the problem, gathering data, analyzing the information, and then presenting your recommendations.
Presentation Skills: You may need to present your findings. Work on clearly communicating your thought process and conclusions. Practice answering questions and defending your recommendations.
Mock Cases: Try participating in mock case studies with friends or colleagues, or look for resources online that can provide you with sample questions.
Additionally, don’t hesitate to reach out to professionals in the field or seek mentorship for more tailored guidance. Good luck with your preparation!
