Asset Management interview questions

I have an interview upcoming for an investment graduate programme at a 100bn+ asset manager. I have interviewed before at PIMCO so I'm kinda aware of what the competency questions could be. But given that this AM invests across all the asset classes, what should I know for the technicals? The reason why I mentioned PIMCO as it was quite obvious to study very deep on FI technicals. But what are they expecting for a rotational programme? Would the generic IB technicals suffice or should I dive deeper into how to value, assess risk etc. in multiple asset classes? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
