Global Wealth Management internship interview

In about a week, I have an interview with one of the big banks in the their global wealth management division here in Miami. What kind of questions should prepare for? Anything technical that I should look over (DCF valuation, financial statement interaction, etc..)?

Thanks.

What year are you? I'm a freshman and for my PWM interview there were no tech questions, all fit... but I'm also doing it unpaid. Give us some more info so we can help.

 

Hahaha DCF...financial statements....you will not get anything that technical and besides those have NOTHING to do with GWM. Worst you will get is market related stuff, know the news (Japan), know the DJI/S&P, maybe asset allocation.

Do you even know what wealth management is? You better by the time you interview...

 

Be prepared for some curveballs. Two I never saw coming (I still wouldn't if I were interviewing today):

-Did you just wake up this morning and decide you wanted to work at JPM? -There are X similar banks doing Y, why do you want position Z specifically?

Both were delivered in a much more confrontational manner than the previous fit and general knowledge questions I had received. I expected surprise ambushes in certain interviews and not in others. Don't let your guard down or assume that the interview will go a certain direction based on the job description.

Some permutations of the first question I listed can come off as very rude, ex. "How do I know you didn't just wake up this morning and decide you want to work in finance?" Prepare a casual but sincere set of replies so that you don't get caught flat-footed.

 

Is this based in boston?

I'm not sure how the division is structured anymore about the ML acquisition.

I don't think its very different than working in a products group for any wm firm. Basically you will be doing due diligence & research on the products / strategies of the firm and relaying that information to the trust officers / advisors / brokers. I think most roles lead to management roles or consulting ones within the firm.

Again, it depends on the placement and the group you are placed in.

 

According to OCR description:

"Global Investment Solutions delivers high quality investment advice and product capabilities commensurate with their client segments & business channels. They provide investment solutions across all product platforms, including equity, debt and structured products, and alternative investments and deliver due diligence and cohesive investment management solutions for client portfolios."

Don't know if that helps or not, but at least now you know it's not to be an FA in their machine.
