Ireland-Moving to Canada 2011
Dear Sir/Madam,
At present I am a Performance Analyst with Bank of Ireland Asset Management. My
current role requires calculating risk and performance figures and also writing
monthly and quarterly commentaries on the markets with regard to the relevant
product or Fund. I work directly with Fixed Income and Equity products. In addition I
am the point of contact on my team with regard to the testing and implementing of
new Fixed Income support systems such as StatPro and Barra. I am also the point of
contact on my team for in-debt testing of our equities support system with regard to
implementing new procedures and products.
Since joining the team I have worked on numerous projects which relied heavily on
good communication and presentation skills. I believe that good communication both
internally and externally is vital to the success of any project and indeed company. In
addition I have experience giving presentation both externally and internally.
As a Listing Agent with NCB Stockbrokers I gained a broad knowledge of Investment
Funds and Debt Securities. It was my responsibility to act as a point of liaison for a
Fund or Debt when applying for listing on the Irish Stock Exchange. It was also my
responsibility to review the relevant prospectus to ensure compliance with the Irish
Stock Exchange listing rules. As a Listing Agent it was vital to have a good
understanding of the products and investment strategies proposed in order to assess
suitability for listing. A large part of the role also involved maintaining client
relationships and where possible building new relationships.
I have always had a keen interest in financial affairs and as such I chose to study
Bachelor of Commerce International with German at University College Dublin. I felt
it was crucial in today’s international market to maintain a foreign language. My
determination to gain real-life experience in finance as a student was the driving force
behind my decision to complete a student internship with AIB Corporate Finance
Ireland and a second internship with AIB Acquisitions and Finance, Frankfurt am
Main, Germany.
I am looking to immigrate to Canada in 2011 and welcome the opportunity to join
your team.
If you have any queries or require any further clarifications please do not hesitate to
contact me directly.
Kind Regards,
Louise Scott.
