I have an interview next week with a small local Asset Management firm. I received the interview by basically emailing every firm I could find regarding possible summer internships. Because it's a small firm with no formal internship program I am not sure what to expect for the interview and don't want to screw it up because I don't have many backup options. Any advice/help with the upcoming interview would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Asset Management can mean a lot of things. What exactly does this shop do....? Private Wealth Management, Institutional Investment Consulting, Equity Investment fund, etc
But in general, smaller firms are more concerned about culture than anything else. Make them like you! Be able to clearly articulate why you want to work there and what value you bring to the firm. And of course be prepared for the general "fit" interview questions (i.e. walk me through your resume, strengths/weaknesses, etc).
is this a junior summer internship?
yes its my junior year. I go to a non target and majoring in applied math, no finance experience so I am trying to get anything relevant for this upcoming summer, then i plan on attending a mfin.
I would agree with tan86. From what I've learned on local firms, they're more concerned with you fitting in because of how small the shop actually is. Could you tell us more about what they exactly do?

Asset Management Internship Question (Originally Posted: 08/14/2012)
I landed an interview with an Asset Management firm for the fall semester. I was wondering what information and technical skills should I know before interviewing.
Thanks
Set up a Google Alert for the company's name so you can monitor any recent news about them. Read at least the last 4 newsletters/quarterly reports they've published. Asking intelligent questions about the firm will get you far. It's impossible to say what technical knowledge you need to know without knowing what the position is or what firm it is.
GetOnTop thank you for the advice. It is a general fall internship with no specific position. The firm targets small cap companies for growth investing.
BB AM SA interview this week. Never had one before. What are some things I should know? (Originally Posted: 01/18/2015)
I have a superday at the AM group of a BB this week and am wondering what I should know. Have only had banking interviews and my first round AM interview was purely fit.
Should I have an equity pick and a fixed income pick? What else should I know?
