When answering this question, focus on demonstrating your ability to handle setbacks and learn from them. Start by briefly describing the investment and what went wrong. Then, explain the steps you took to address the situation, including any analysis or strategic changes you implemented. Highlight the lessons learned and how you applied them to future investments. For example:
"In one instance, we invested in a tech startup that initially showed great promise. However, the company faced unexpected regulatory challenges that significantly impacted its growth. I took immediate action by working closely with the founders to pivot the business model and seek alternative markets. We also brought in legal experts to navigate the regulatory landscape. Although the investment did not yield the expected returns, the experience taught me the importance of thorough due diligence and contingency planning, which I have since applied to other investments."
