GSAM Fundamental Equity group

I have an phone interview with Goldman Sachs Asset Management for their Fundamental Equity Group - Full time Analyst role. There is not any info on this specific group in any of the previous threads in WSO. I was curious to figure out the best way to prepare for the interview in terms of technical questions that you are expected to know - based on anyone's experiences. Below is the brief job description.

Fundamental Equity team conducts original, bottom-up research across a broad range of capitalizations and styles, spanning global developed and emerging markets. This team utilizes growth equity, value equity, global equity and real estate securities strategies. Team members work with trading, economics and market strategy professionals to respond to our clients’ needs, analyze equity portfolios, execute trades and educate clients about equity offerings across the sector. Below are some of the qualifications that the team is looking for in a candidate:

Record of academic excellence

· Demonstrated interest in, and knowledge of, finance, economics and Global Capital Markets

· Strong analytical and communication skills

· Excellent interpersonal skills and a desire to work in a team-oriented environment

· Creative approach to problem solving

· Ability to work well under timeframe pressure

· Resourcefulness, energy, attention to detail and the ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment

· Proven leadership ability

Thanks a ton in advance

Okay, Actually I was interviewing with another group QIS in GSAM and after the first round they asked me to interview with the Fundamental Equity group instead. I am a Finance major and my knowledge of economics is limited to basic concepts. How much knowledge would I be expected to have in terms of concepts expected to know ???

 

Hi Everyone.

I have had interviews for junior role within PWM at GS (final round)... They decided to put me for GSAM but I have to come up with a plan of which team (no suggestions has been made by them!) ...

I studied Engineering and have had M&A internship + Investment Advisory Internship before... I have done some research there are so many teams it is difficult to say which I like the most.. I like to have a balance of Analytical & Client Facing role... would Products be a good idea?

Any suggestions please please make soon as I have to speak to HR lady in 2 days...
