As a professional in the wealth management industry, you most likely have a variety of professional designations to complement your bachelor's degree, master's degree, or MBA. The most common designation is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) or Chartered Financial Planner (CFP).
Take the time to briefly remind the interviewer of your education and corresponding designations. Show a keen interest in expanding your knowledge for years to come. Your continued education plan could include further developing your expertise in finance, accounting, statistics, or even data analysis.

"I have found that so much of my work includes taking a plethora of data and analyzing it to find trends. These trends then help me to make better predictions. In the next three years, I plan to focus my education on courses that include building my quantitative analysis skills. I believe this will complement my MBA, as well as my CFA designation. Also, if I get hired, I would take full advantage of everything that Goldman Sachs University has to offer."

"I recently earned my CFA designation, and I am happy to add that to my Master's Degree in Finance. I realize that, as a wealth professional, my education should never stop. For that reason, I have enrolled in two courses this year - Advanced Investment Strategies and Growth Investing. I plan to take further courses, including data analysis and statistics."

Be sure to mention your awareness of 'Goldman Sachs University.' Although it is not a 'real' university where you can earn more accreditations, it is an internal continuing education/career development division of Goldman Sachs designed to be taken advantage of as a resource by new and current employees who have an interest in further developing their skills, and which are purported to help you move up the corporate ladder and better embody the mission, values, and ideology of their brand.
