Interview at Value Fund

[robface]

I have an interview at a value fund coming up and was wondering if anyone had any questions I should be prepared for.  I imagine fit is the key and showing I'm passionate about value investing.

 

Some basic questions I can think of are:

- What do you know about our fund?

- Discuss an original investment idea.

- What books have you read recently?

 

And CBS has a good resource:  www0.gsb.columbia.edu/students/.../cima_interviewquestions.pdf

 

Any technical questions / brainteasers / others that would be good to be aware of?

 

Thanks!
