Behavioural questions were generally standard

The interview consisted of one superday, which had 5, 15-minute interviews with various VPs.
The interviews were all quite straight forward, there were no curveballs. If you study the "The 400 Investment Banking Interview Questions & Answers You Need to Know" you'll be fine.

They asked me some market-related questions as well as 2 stock pitches. Nothing overly complicated, but you have to be able to exhibit your passion for the markets.

They asked me some difficult Options related questions since I'm a math major.
Some questions were about the different types of options, call vs puts, what's the difference?

What are safe haven stocks and when are they useful?
Some questions about emerging markets. When would an investor choose to invest in an EM, instead of in his home county?
They asked the difference between fixed income and equities and why am I interested in equities over fixed income?
