Private Equity and Hedge Funds Interview QBank (350+)
Product Description
Buy Side Interview Question Bank 2025
375 Questions Across Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Pensions & Asset Managers
Breaking into the buy side is one of the most competitive challenges in finance. Unlike banking interviews, which focus heavily on transactions and technical drills, buy side interviews are designed to test how you think like an investor — how you generate ideas, evaluate risk and reward, and make sound decisions under pressure.
This comprehensive QBank compiles 375 real-world interview questions reported by past candidates and structured to reflect how top firms actually evaluate talent. Covering 15 of the most prestigious hedge funds, private equity megafunds, and Canadian pensions, this resource gives you an insider’s view of what it takes to stand out.
What’s Inside
✅ 15 firm-specific sections — including Bridgewater, Point72, Artisan Partners, OMERS, OTPP, Hellman & Friedman, KKR, Onex, Ares, TPG, Balyasny, Citadel, Blackstone, Carlyle, and EQT.
✅ 375 realistic questions — spanning behavioral/fit, stock pitches, research frameworks, technicals, LBOs, risk, and market awareness.
✅ Tailored firm focus — macro-heavy questions at Bridgewater, pod-structure risk at Citadel & Balyasny, thematic/impact at TPG & EQT, long-term capital allocation at pensions, mega-buyout focus at Blackstone & KKR, and more.
✅ Full coverage across strategies — hedge funds, private equity, real estate, credit, infrastructure, pensions, and multi-strats.
✅ Built for 2025 recruiting — includes the most relevant themes (AI, sustainability, digital infra, energy transition).
