Introduce -> some behavioral questions -> a series of probability questions -> QA section. In the solving problem sections, the interviewer would ask you to think out loud to discuss all the detail of it.
few rounds of interviews with different portfolio managers and researchers mix of technical, finance and cs qns from each PM but this was a while ago, so it might be different now
