Step into the role of an advisor in an interactive negotiation where you represent either the buy-side or
sell-side of a business transaction. Analyze the business, determine its value, and negotiate with the opposing team to extract key insights. In the final round, you'll put your strategy into action as you negotiate crucial deal terms, from pricing and financing to transition plans. Success here isn’t just about financial metrics—it’s about navigating interests, aligning objectives, and achieving the best possible result for your client. Ready to take on the challenge and showcase your advisory skills?

One of our focus areas is manager selection in Private Equity. The Private Equity industry has grown substantially from inception over 40 years ago. In an increasingly competitive environment, thousands of General Partners are trying to create value in private markets. Not all succeed. Investors in Private Equity need to understand not just risk/return profiles, but should also conduct due diligence on the organization, team, investment terms and of course, overall strategy of a manager when trying to decide which funds to commit to. That is where we come in.

In this case, you will be responsible for part of the Bluemetric selection process. Through our sourcing partners, a new manager came to our attention. The manager will be raising their next fund in the coming months. In teams, you will have to perform high-level due diligence on the strategy, organization, track record and investment terms of this next fund. What are the most important pros and cons of the fund? Could it be interesting to our clients? Should the fund be recommended for further due diligence at the next Investment Committee meeting? If so, what should be the focus points of further due diligence? If clients decide to
allocate to the fund, how much should they allocate?

In this phase several things happen at the same time, in which the students will have to continuously watch what is happening and adjust their strategy if necessary.

Rabobank is looking for students with a strong interest in corporate finance. Have you been able to combine strong academic results with extra-curricular success during your studies?
