1st round phone interview for Blackstone Asset Management. What to expect?

Ok I wrote the same post in the Asset Management Forum, but I moved it to here because I thought I could get more responses from this forum.

Does anyone know what I should expect for the 1st round phone interview at Blackstone Alternative Asset Management(BAAM)? Would it be mostly fit questions or should I expect any technicals, market-related questions? I have only interviewed with BBs so far. I guess I am justly nervous. This is for a SA position, and any help and input will be really appreciated. Thanks!

Well thanks. But investing is a too broad topic. Fortunately I've done mock portfolio managing before, and invested my own money once. Would I need to brush up on that?

And this is a 15 minute short interview. Do I still need to go over all the details of the related technicals?
