Questions
We are three analysts who recruited for the London buyside over the last three years – hedge funds and private equity. Between us we went through more than 60 processes. Everything here is what we were actually asked and how we actually answered, not a coach's reconstruction of it.
The major London hedge fund and private equity processes – multi-manager pods, single-manager long/short, long-only, large-cap and mid-market PE, and private credit. We name the funds, because the specificity is the point. We do not publish anything fund-confidential: no real names of interviewers, no real deal data tied to a fund, no performance figures.
Peak Frameworks is US-centric in its examples, its faculty and its tone. We are London buyside, by people who went through these exact processes – not generalist instructors. By contrast, we are narrow on purpose: London hedge fund and PE recruiting, in depth, rather than a broad finance course.
Not yet. The product today is the written corpus. We may add a higher-touch tier later, but we are not going to pretend a £400/hr coaching call is included when it is not.
Yes, it is London-specific today – that is where we recruited and where most buyside hiring concentrates. Much of the technical and fit material travels directly to Paris, Frankfurt and Geneva; the fund-specific process detail is London-first.
If you are targeting a buyside seat, yes. It is most useful for IB analysts and consultants making the jump, and for penultimate- and final-year students at target schools who want to understand how the process actually runs before they are in it.
Email us – if you are a student at a target school we will sort something out. We would rather you have it than not.
Everything – the full question bank, every case study, the stock pitches and investment memos, and the round-by-round advice. One price, one product, all of it. No tiers to decode.
