How to approach the case study
You’ll receive a company’s financial statements, operational data and market insights either well in advance or on the day. Using this information, you’ll need to assess whether the firm should invest.
The core questions are almost always the same:
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of this as an investment opportunity?
- Would you move forward with this investment?
- What valuation would you assign?
- What additional information would help you decide?
Most importantly, your answer needs to reflect your own perspective - and you must be able to justify it.
