Wealth management, depending on your job function, can be a cutthroat industry. If you are a wealth manager or private banker, often you only 'eat what you kill' meaning you are paid only when you close business.
Often, wealth manager seats are revolving as it's easy to get fired from clients when they feel you are underperforming. These are just some of the ways that you need to remain competitive in the wealth management industry. There isn't a wrong answer to this question. The interviewer would like to see that you are not a sore loser and that you bring the competition needed to succeed at Merrill Lynch. Speak a bit about your competitive side and your desire to succeed.

"I love to win although losing is inevitable now and then. When I am not winning, it's essential that I learn from the experience, and implement changes from it, rather than dwell. As a highly commissioned wealth management professional, the love to win on behalf of my clients is what drives me."

"'I hate to lose' is more descriptive of me, although not in a negative way. I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the work that I deliver, which means that I dislike disappointing my boss, my clients, and myself. With that said, I know there is always something to learn from losing."
