Liquid Alternatives - Interview

Hi monkeys, 

I was invited for an interview for a Junior PM position from a Tier 1 fund. They manage Liquid Alternatives strategies, not a lot of info online on the specific strategies, funds are restricted on Bloomberg like hedge funds.

My background is in AM, with focus on trading execution. I'm quite confident with usual AM stuff (markets, macro, instruments), not that much on quant/systematic. How should I get ready for the interview? Any suggestion on typical questions apart from basic understanding of Liquid Alternatives strategies (L/S, macro, CTA...)?

Does anybody worked on such funds? What is different from usual AM apart from the strategies they run?

Thanks
