How do you think about risk?

IB analyst at a BB looking to jump to an HF and am trying to "think more like an investor." I am obviously not identifying and executing pair trades in my PA with our trading restrictions. How would you like a candidate to articulate their views on risk management during an interview? Open to both SM and MM perspectives
