What this question trains
This question practices how to think about valuation in the FIG space, especially for asset managers where earnings, operating performance, and assets under management can all matter. Candidates need to know the common trading multiples used in this industry and understand that the choice of multiple depends on the business model, fee structure, and comparability of the peer set. Interviewers ask this because banking roles require you to judge whether a valuation metric is meaningful, comparable, and useful for relative valuation rather than applying a multiple mechanically.
