Dear Sir/Madam,

When reviewing the ad for the Fixed Income Analyst job within Bernn & Co, Inc. which has been advertised on LinkedIn.com, I was very pleased to discover how well my qualifications align with the requirements described in the posting. Therefore, I not only believe that I would become a great addition to your team but I am also certain that it would be an exceptional opportunity for me to further grow my career.

First and foremost, I am a detail-oriented and performance-driven individual offering an Accounting & Finance degree from the London School of Economics and the well-known Chartered Financial Analyst Certification from the CFA Institute. At the university, I was not only among the top 10% of students with the best academic results but I was also pro-actively engaged in multiple extracurricular activities, including FinTech Society, Marketing Society, and Swimming Club.

On top of my education, I worked as a Fixed Income Analyst at Franklin Resources, Inc. for three years, There, I was given the responsibility for performing a deep analysis of multiple market securities and I constantly monitored and evaluated the company's financial performance. Besides that, I:

• Stayed up-to-date with current industry laws and regulations and identified potential investment and business growth opportunities.
• Worked closely with colleagues on the improvement of the existing investment portfolio management system in order to increase overall efficiency - increased by 23% within one year.
• Conducted detailed financial forecasts and presented results to supervisors.

Finally, I am possessing the ability to use multiple important industry software programs, for example, NetSuite, Jedox, QuickBooks, and Sage at an expert level. Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.

Kind regards,

Daniel Mittermeier
