In a rapidly changing field like finance, you are expected to keep up with industry changes at the snap of a finger. Demonstrate to your interviewer that you keep up with the industry through membership in industry-relevant groups or publications. You should have a reliable news outlet that you rely on for industry news, which you can mention to your interviewer.
If possible, give an example of a time where you made a decision or helped your team change the direction of a project due to a last-minute regulatory change. Overall, convey that you are on top of the industry and can speak intelligently on regulatory changes, especially if you will be in a client-facing role on State Street's behalf.

"I have been a CFA member for over five years now, and I look forward to the quarterly CFA Digest publication, the CFA Magazine, and their news brief email that comes out daily. I find these are great resources that cover things ranging from daily news that impacts work to very big-picture studies and findings as published in the digest. If hired for this role, I would continue to be an active CFA member and utilize their resources for my work. In addition, I begin each morning with the business section of the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and Forbes. Are there additional publications that you think are important to follow in this role at State Street?"
