Anyone willing to share their approach to CIM analysis? Have you development a scorecard template or do you just analyse deals on a deal-by-deal basis? We're trying to figure out a method of evaluating CIM's on a first passthrough quickly and efficiently. Thanks in advance!

The joke in PE it to read he Exec Summary in the CIM, review financials, then throw CIM away. (kinda kidding, but not really). Bankers will say the same thing about your business plan, too:) Prepare to read a high degree of BS in (biz plan or CIM), and really dig into due diligence
