Your interviewer is curious whether you are risk-averse or are willing to take informed, calculated risks when lacking all the necessary information. As Edward C. Johnson the 2nd, Fidelity's founder once said, "Take intelligent risks rather than follow the crowd." So share how you approach taking calculated risks and how you would increase their clients' wealth.

"My approach to taking risks is taking them only when necessary. But when action needs to be taken, I won't lose my only commodity - time. I gather all the information I have according to what time allows and take the most conservative and cautious risks possible. But I won't stand around waiting for the right moment or the right conditions, and I will always have the client's interest at heart."
