This Ares Opportunistic Credit case study guide is based on a real case study that Ares gave to candidates in the past. We changed the ticker name to another company. What you see in this guide is reflective of what Ares sent to candidates instructing them to do the case study. The PDF has the prompt and as well as a link to download materials on the company. There’s no solution, model or guidance attached to the case. The PDF is meant to show you what candidates are asked to do (i.e. the wording of the instructions, required analysis, specifications). This document is not intended to teach you how to solve a case study.

Our case studies are as close as it gets to the real thing.
The first thing we do when we develop a case study is to thoughtfully consider the different aspects of the original real case study. What was the company? What information was provided to the candidate? What questions did the interviewers ask during the debrief? What did the candidates struggle with? We then create mock practice case studies, tailored specifically to that firm. As a result, our cases are as close as it gets to the real thing and an excellent way for you to practice.
