Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Alliance Trust

Dear Madam, Sir,

Currently Assets and Liabilities Management (ALM) Analyst at JP Morgan and CFA Level 3 Candidate, I wish to commit myself to Alliance Trust, for an Analyst position in your Investment Research Team.

My different experiences in bank and in particular my current position in the ALM team of JP Morgan prove my analytical skills, as well as my reliability within a company.

As a Structural Risks Analyst for the Corporate and Investment Branch of JP Morgan, I am in charge of the structural interest rate and FX risks analysis and reporting of JP Morgan’s entities (EMEA, America and Asia zones). I am used to work with financial statements and to interact with the different entities and departments in English and French.

Moreover, my academic experiences at Oxford University, as well as my preparation to the CFA exams have enabled me to acquire strong and practical knowledge in finance.

I have good skills in financial analysis (fixed income, alternative investments, equity), corporate finance and an excellent understanding of financial reporting analysis and portfolio management.

Becoming a part of your team represents a double opportunity for me: consolidating my acquired knowledge in finance by developing my skills in financial research, as well as working within a strong investment firm, in which I have a strong interest in, to pursue my career. I believe that I would succeed in your firm's exciting and motivating environment and that my analytical and practical skills, strong international background and ability to work in a team would make me a valuable asset to your company.

Should you need any further information on my application, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your kind consideration and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,
