PE Fund of Fund interview - Hot PE areas - Best industry - FoF valuation methods

Hi guys! Hope you are all doing well!! I have an internship interview tomorrow I want to be prepared as much as possible :)

I think that I need more knowledge about the general market today and would like to know the 3 main points:

1) What are the hot PE type fo funds at the moment (especially in Europe)

2) What industry, area of PE funds would you invest in 

3) Is there any shift in the LP & GP power distribution at the moment?

4) Recent PE announcement I could talk about.

5) What are the valuation methods, due diligence methods in FoF?

Thank you in advance and I wish you a great day :)
