Samples of UBS cover letter

When applying for a position at UBS, your cover letter is an opportunity for you to tell your story, without being stuck in the formatting constraints of the resume. The best format for writing a cover letter is as follows:

  • Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the recipient’s name, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.
  • The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 
  • Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position. Write a paragraph about why you are the perfect candidate for the job.
  • State your skills and work experience. Ensure your skills and experiences are similar to the job position. When highlighting skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 
  • Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position further.”

“POSITION: Analyst

In Application for the 2016 UBS Graduate Program CCS (Melbourne/Sydney)

Dear UBS recruiter,

Thank you for reviewing my application for an opportunity to join the 2016 UBS Corporate Client Solutions Graduate Program. As a worldwide leading investment bank, UBS provides a world-class training program. I am interested in this program as it provides a steep learning curve with a challenging, performance based culture. My affinity towards team and personal excellence, entrenched from rowing, gears me to thrive in the highly demanding industry. I believe the combination of my strong analytical ability and creative thinking will not only add value to the UBS graduate program but also to opportunities at UBS in the future.

I interned at Investcorp Bank in Bahrain, where I was part of the private equity team. During my training I was tasked with modelling and valuing companies along with conducting research assignments. My assignments required me to diligently gather information and think critically, so that I was able to present a usable insight to various members of the team. For instance, I analysed the oil price environment and presented possible impacts and their severities on oil sensitive portfolio companies.

Furthermore, I enjoy working closely with people, as seen from my private tutoring business. Working with students from different backgrounds has allowed me to build strong interpersonal skills, which I have transferred to my involvement in university club activities. Pursuing my passion for finance outside my course, I am a writer and editor for the University Network of Investing and Trading club. In my role I am responsible for researching, writing and editing articles that are used to help inform and educate other club members. Thank you for reviewing my application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours Sincerely,”

Ms. Cathleen Brodbank 

Associate Director – Human Resources 

UBS 

677 Washington Boulevard 

Stamford, CT 06901 

Dear Ms. Brodbank: 

I wish to be considered for the position of Investment Management Summer Analyst at UBS. After speaking with several alumni and contacts working at UBS and elsewhere in the banking field, and considering my educational experience in economics, I strongly believe that I have the skills and motivation necessary to succeed in this field. My desire to do so with a prestigious financial firm, combined with my ability to make the most of every opportunity presented to me, make me a solid candidate for an internship position with UBS this summer. 

My coursework at Hamilton College, in both psychology and economics, has strengthened my ability to think critically, analyze information thoroughly, and to “think outside the box”. Relevant experience includes my use of Excel and statistics to track quantitative data, knowledge of macroeconomics and capital markets, along with the ability to express my analysis and conclusions effectively in writing and in oral presentations using PowerPoint. Moreover, my involvement as a member of Hamilton College’s women’s ice hockey team, along with experiences on previous sports teams, has enabled me to develop and refine strong interpersonal skills, communicating clearly and cooperatively in one-on-one situations as well as with large groups of individuals. 

In addition, as an assistant manager and multi-year employee at Animal City, I demonstrated responsibility and leadership skills and developed the ability to provide accurate information to a wide variety of vendors and customers. The resulting increase in sales and continuous return of satisfied customers who appreciated my service was well noted by the store owners. These relevant skills, combined with my diligent work ethic and sense of integrity in all my endeavors, will enable me to actively participate with and be an asset to the UBS team this summer. 

I have enclosed my resume and would be pleased to provide references upon request. I look forward to discussing with you the contribution I can make to UBS as an intern, and am available to interview at your convenience. If you have any questions, you can reach me at (806) 308-2245 or via email at tbristol@hamilton.edu. 

I thank you in advance for your consideration of me for this opportunity. 

Sincerely yours, 

Terry Bristol”

“Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a third-year student, currently abroad at Warwick Business School. As I progress in my studies, I have become more and more interested in Investment Banking. Providing advice and financial services to the biggest corporations, financial institutions and governments is something really exciting and challenging. To me, no other industry is so correlated to the economy. The Summer Intern Program at UBS will give me the opportunity to improve my knowledge of the work of analyst, by getting involved in real projects.

What makes UBS special to me is its culture. UBS provides a challenging work environment, with a strong culture of excellence. UBS not only values the individual development of its employees, but also a great collaboration between them. As a result, besides being one of the top investment banks in the world, UBS is often recognized as a high-quality employer. For instance, Universum named UBS in the top 50 World’s Most Attractive Employers in 2015. I attended the Warwick Speed Networking event, hosted by Oliver Gaunt, Executive Director of the investment bank division. I had the chance to talk to some of your employees and they really give me the feeling that, at UBS, everyone is valued, can make a positive impact on a project and can succeed in his career in banking.

I completed a two-month long internship at Company X in France. Through this experience, I had to show a considerable degree of flexibility and the ability to handle multiple tasks since I worked both as an accountant and assistant treasurer in the same time. I also produced an Excel File that calculates Directors’ fees gathering a range of data, such as mileage expenses, which has significantly improved my ability to work using Excel tables and huge amount of figures. Moreover, as a summer customer adviser at Bank X, I had the opportunity to work directly with clients, providing them advice and solutions, which has strongly developed my communication skills.

Given my background in accounting and retail banking, I believe I am particularly fit for the Summer Analyst position. Thank you for your time considering my application.

Yours Faithfully,

My name”

I am interested in this position because it offers a great opportunity to work with a leading investment bank. The role is also full-time, which is my preference. I am open to relocating to Bangalore, but I would prefer to work in a city where there are more opportunities for growth.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
