Division
Alternatives
The Alternatives division opens up private markets, one of the fastest-growing and least understood areas of finance. From private equity and private credit to the wider range of alternative asset classes, we give members the technical grounding and deal knowledge to understand how the buy-side works, and to speak about it with confidence in applications and interviews.

Private Markets Technicals
A series of sessions that takes you through each asset class within private markets, starting with our flagship private equity and private credit events. Each session explains how the asset class works, looks at recent news and deals, and finishes with a case study, so you leave understanding both the theory and how it plays out in practice.

Our new LBO competition challenges teams to model and pitch a leveraged buyout, judged by experienced professionals from leading buy-side firms. To help you submit your best possible work, we run technical workshops and LBO modelling masterclasses in the run-up, so no prior modelling experience is needed to take part. The top teams go through to a live final in London.
