Questions for Financial Sponsors?

Hi, does anyone know what kind of questions I should expect in a sponsor's interview, I have previous LevFin experience but am curious about what to expect within a sponsor's FT interview. I was also curious on if anyone had any advice on what market trend to talk about within sponsors if they ask to stand out? Thank you.

I think generally the best way to approach questions at the end of an interview is to ask one fairly open-ended and simple question, but then ask very thoughtful follow-ups that demonstrate your market knowledge. If you prepare the most technical and deep question for an interviewer, chances are they might themselves not even know the answer or be impressed because it's not hard to come up with technical questions.
