Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
The interview process involved three initial rounds before the Superday. The first round was behavioral, and the second focused more on technical aspects. The Superday itself included a case study, a written exam, and several 30-minute interviews. These later interviews heavily emphasized technical knowledge, particularly concerning fund of funds, various private investment vehicles, and current macroeconomic trends.

Behavioral Technical
As an intern, I just had one interview at their Irvine, CA headquarters. It included two interviews back to back with a senior analyst and an associate. They were friendly and asked mostly about work experience and situational questions. They also asked a few technical questions, but it wasn't critical to get them all right. Afterward, they explained the role and we could ask questions.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Regarding a fund-to-funds PE firm, what is its strategy, and how does it compare to a standard PE firm?
