The Actis case interview typically includes building a detailed financial model, often a three-statement buyout model, to assess a potential investment. Candidates are expected to analyze an asset—usually in the energy or infrastructure space—and develop a clear investment thesis. After modeling, you’ll prepare a short investment pitch or memo outlining key merits, risks, and areas for due diligence. The final part usually involves presenting your findings to Actis professionals and defending your assumptions in a Q&A. Strong modeling skills and the ability to communicate investment logic clearly are crucial for success.
