Anyone got a solid answer for "Why do you want to work in Capital Markets?"

I got an interview coming up for Corporate Banking and i know for sure they'll ask this question. I feel like the question "Why do you want to work in Capital Markets?" is so broad and can go too many ways. I need a SOLID answer that can turn heads. Anyone got an idea?

Thanks
