How to prepare an interview for an internship in FIG?

Hello, 

I have an upcoming interview in 1 week for a trainee position in the Financial Institutions Group (FIG). I am aware that FIG is pretty different to other industry groups, but I would like to know what sort of stuff I should expect in the interview (other than the typical 3 financial statements, valuations methodologies, LBO, and Brain Teasers). 

This is for an entry level position, not an experienced lateral.
