Investor Relations Associate Interview Help

I have a second round interview for an IR Associate role at a real estate investment firm specialising in multi family assets.

The first round was with the director of IR. 30 min phone call. She mostly asked me behavioural and some background related questions.

The second round is also with her. A one hour long zoom interview. Now, I don’t know what type of questions I should prepare for. Any technicals that I should have on my fingertips?

They haven’t mentioned if I should review any material to prepare for the second round. Neither does the job description mention anything related to the candidate knowing any technicals.

Hence, I am really confused. What should I exactly prepare for? I believe even though it’s not mentioned anywhere, I should still prepare for technical questions. But type of technical questions should I prepare for? Any advice/tips would be highly appreciated.
