(Do not attempt the assignment without the assignment brief. Please follow the guidance provided below) DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK – WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO DO? Case Study: The Takeover of Hargreaves Lansdown by a CVC-led Consortium: The £5.4 billion acquisition of Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) by a consortium comprising Citicorp Venture Capital (CVC) Capital Partners, Nordic Capital, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) represents a pivotal moment for the UK’s wealth management sector. Completed in March 2025, the deal saw the UK’s largest and most influential retail investment platform transition from public market ownership to private equity control, highlighting a perceived value gap in the London market and private capital’s appetite for transformative investments in financial services. Founded in 1981 by Peter Hargreaves and Stephen Lansdown from a spare bedroom in Bristol, HL revolutionized the UK’s personal investment landscape. Its growth was monumental, rising from a startup to a FTSE 100 constituent by 2011. By 2024, it served over 1.8 million clients with approximately £142 billion in assets under administration (AUA) (Hargreaves Lansdown, 2024; Financial Times, 2024). HL’s significance and innovation lay in its direct-to-consumer model, which dismantled the traditional, advisor-led barriers to investing. Before HL, accessing funds and shares was often complex, expensive, and dominated by high-street banks and commission-driven financial advisors. HL’s innovative services included: -The Fund Platform: HL’s core innovation was creating a centralized, accessible “fund supermarket.” This allowed retail investors to easily compare, buy, and hold thousands of funds from various providers in one place, dramatically simplifying diversification and portfolio management (MoneyWeek, 2024). -Tax-Efficient Wrappers: It was a pioneer in making Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) and Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) accessible to the mass market. These wrappers allowed investors to shelter their investments from capital gains and income tax, with HL providing the intuitive platform to manage them. -Discounts and Transparency: By negotiating volume discounts on fund management fees and passing some savings to customers, HL offered better value than many traditional avenues. Its focus on transparent, upfront pricing and extensive research materials empowered a new generation of self-directed investors (The Guardian, 2014). -Client-Centric Technology: Long before fintech became a trend, HL invested heavily in user-friendly technology, providing clients with 24/7 access to their portfolios, clear reporting, and streamlined dealing. This built immense customer loyalty and a powerful, trusted brand. This innovative approach allowed HL to capture a dominant market share, creating a highly profitable business with a sticky customer base and recurring revenue streams. It wasn’t just a broker; it was the gateway to the markets for a significant portion of the UK’s investing public. Despite its dominant position, HL faced significant modern headwinds by the 2020s. The very market it helped create became crowded with low-cost, digitally-native rivals like Vanguard and iShares. The ongoing need for substantial investment in its technology platform to keep pace with these competitors pressured its margins and growth prospects, leading to a period of share price stagnation. This made it a target for acquirers who believed its immense value was not fully realised in the public markets (MoneyWeek, 2024). The bidding consortium comprised three major financial powerhouses: – Citicorp Venture Capital (CVC) Capital Partners: A leading global private equity and investment advisory firm with a proven track record in financial services investments. -Nordic Capital: A prominent European private equity

This includes proficiency in creating sketches, 3D drawings or multi-view projections such as side elevations and cross-sectional views of products. You will accurately be representing design concepts in technical documentation. Apply advanced techniques in 3D CAD software to effectively communicate designs for manufacturing, fabrication, systems or assembly of components and products. You will gain proficiency in creating detailed engineering drawings with proper dimensioning, to lerancing, and annotations, ensuring clear communication of design intent for manufacturing. Understand the advanced visualisation, animation and rendering techniques in CAD, creating realistic 3D models and renderings of components and products. You will analyse visual representations to improve design communication, considering user experience and market appeal. Develop the ability to design and document engineering components and assemblies according to various engineering standards and industry best practices. You will learn to apply and comply with relevant standards, ensuring that their designs meet the required specifications and quality benchmarks. ENGR4-00540 Assessment Overview This is a group portfolio-based assessment. For this assessment, you will work in a group of 3 to 5 students, comprising peers from the same or different engineering programmes, to create a CAD Design Portfolio that showcases your collective design and modelling skills. You will choose one design challenge from the three options listed below, based on your group’s expertise and interest: 1.Design of a Hydraulic Press System for Workshop Use2.Design of a 6-DOF COBOT with Pneumatic Soft Gripper for Industrial Automation Design of a two-stage drinking water filter system Three Design Challenge Options (Select one from below) Brief description of design challenges (Select one from below) 1)Workshop Hydraulic Press System: This system is commonly used in automotive and mechanical workshops for tasks such as pressing bearings, shaping metals, and load testing. Its importance lies in delivering controlled high-force applications safely and reliably.Accurate CAD modelling ensures that the press frame can withstand operational forces, parts align correctly, and safety features are integrated. Key components typically include a hydraulic cylinder, press plate, H-frame or C-frame structure, adjustable worktable, and safety locks. This challenge is ideal for students interested in mechanical systems, structural design, and applied force mechanisms. 2)6-DOF Collaborative Robot (COBOT) with Pneumatic Soft Gripper: Collaborative robots are increasingly used in industrial automation, smart manufacturing, and delicate handling tasks like electronics or packaging. The addition of a soft pneumatic gripper allows safe manipulation of fragile or irregular objects. Accurate design is critical to simulate articulated motion (6 degrees of freedom), joint limits, and pneumatic actuation. Key components include a robotic base, rotating joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist), and a compliant pneumatic gripper. You can find an example pneumatic gripper Fusion 360 file at: FusionThis project is well-suited for students interested in robotics, control systems, or mechatronic integration. 3) Two-Stage Drinking Water Filtration System: Used in domestic, industrial, and food-processing environments, this system filters water through multiple stages to remove sediments, chemicals, and microorganisms. Proper design ensures hygienic operation, easy cartridge replacement, and leak-proof assembly. Accurate CAD modelling is essential for precise fit of filter housings, O-ring seals, and port connections. Typical components include filter casings, cartridge elements, inlet/outlet ports, mounting brackets, and sealing caps. This challenge appeals to students interested in product design, fluid systems, or sustainable technologies.After your group selects one of the design challenges, you will begin with market research to explore similar products. This includes identifying their key components, functions, how parts are assembled, and the materials are used. Based on your research, you will develop a design rationale for the product your team will design and model.Using industry-standard CAD software (e.g., Autodesk Fusion 360), your team will create a fully constrained, multi-component assembly, including: Part modelling Assembly modelling with joints and motion constraints Exploded views with bill of materials Technical drawings for each component (following BS8888 standards) Rendered images and animationsYour CAD Design Portfolio should also include: Market research and design rationale Evidence of group and individual collaboration A clear overview of how your product functions Submission Requirements This project will help you develop the ability to communicate your design effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences. You are required to compile the above-mentioned elements into a 750-words equivalent group portfolio in DOC or PDF format. Although the portfolio content will be the same for all group members, each member must submit the portfolio individually for marking purposes. When submitting individually, please ensure you also include the following: a shared downloadable link for all CAD and animation files. When submitting individually, please ensure you also include the following: Peer Observation Form, Gantt Chart, and Meeting Logbook—where you must record both your individual and group contributions to the project on a weekly basis. All templates are available to download from Blackboard. Detailed Assessment Guidance To successfully complete this assessment, you will need to perform five main activities which will lead to five sections to your report. Each section is explained in detail in the following section. Your final marks will be assessed by both your group project outcome and your individual contribution. The group project outcome will be marked against the provided marking rubric, and your individual performance will be calculated based on a self and peer review form. Marking rubric and self and peer review form are available on module Blackboard page under Assessment 1. For each section, individual contribution needs
