Cold Emailed Fund Manager--he set up a call. What should I expect?

Fairly non-traditional background. Currently in medical school, seeking a career in finance. Cold emailing lots of firms for summer internships.A fund manager at a smaller (~$400M L/S) healthcare focused replied and set up a call with me to "briefly chat"  and cc'd his director of HR as well.Not sure what I should be expecting to discuss. Any insight?.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Edit: he basically assessed my overall intelligence (coming from very, very non-targets) and provided career guidance (he has a similar background) and forwarded resume to some colleagues at other funds.

 

Just had a similar “networking” convo with a fund manager. It could be anything but he will probably gauge your interest in the markets in the conversation. Have a stock ready that you like, and make sure you can talk about your PA if you have one.
