This question allows the interviewer to get to know you a bit better; helping them to understand the issues that draw you in. Many topics in financial news could pique your interest. Discuss one piece of economic news that has caught your attention as of late. You can give your opinion on the topic; however, it's essential that you avoid going on a tangent regarding politics and other hot button topics.

"One topic I have been immersed in, primarily because so many of my clients have an interest, is China's GDP growth. China's growth has seen a 6.2% slump in Q2 of this year and the lowest percent in about 27 years. This topic is significant to me since China is the world's second-largest economy. We are starting to see the impact of the trade war between China and the US."

"I have been reading more in the news about water scarcity as a global phenomenon and how this could soon make water a good investment. Shortages in upcoming years could make water a precious commodity, making it a potential opportunity for investors. From the research I have conducted, I see that a small amount of traditional mutual funds and exchange-traded funds already invest in water. These investments are mainly around its delivery, testing, and cleaning. I believe there could be phenomenal growth as governments strive to battle expected water shortages."
