Winnie Chan

I am reaching out to express my interest in potential opportunities within the Private Banking, Alternative Investment sector and Family Offices, and I am hopeful that you would consider me as a valuable candidate for such roles. With a substantial and accomplished career spanning over two decades in finance, I am seeking the expertise of a distinguished headhunting firm to guide me in my ongoing career journey.
 

Allow me to provide you with some insights into my background. As a native of Hong Kong, I dedicated a significant portion of my career to LGT Private Bank, where I excelled as an Associate Director in the role of Assistant Relationship Manager. Regrettably, family circumstances necessitated a temporary pause in my career when I relocated to London under the BNO visa scheme for Hong Kongers two years ago. Now, with a renewed enthusiasm, I am eager to re-enter the realm of Private Banking or explore similar roles within the broader finance landscape.
 

Currently, I am diligently pursuing the CISI certification, aiming to attain the full Level 4 certification to further enhance my professional qualifications and I passed one of the modules - UK Regulation and Professional Integrity. Proficient in Cantonese and Mandarin, I have successfully collaborated with both Chinese and international clients across more than 20 countries. My expertise encompasses a broad spectrum, including financial products, investment implementation, relationship management, compliance, and KYC.
 

My core strengths lie in internal networking, client servicing, meticulous organization and implementation, effective teamwork, and an unwavering dedication to my work. In my previous role in Hong Kong, I collaborated with a relationship manager, overseeing an international book exceeding USD 300 million with an annual revenue of USD 3 million.
 

While I am keen to secure a position akin to my previous role, I am also open to new directions in my career that align with my strengths and passion for client service. I believe my profile aligns well with the calibre of candidates your firm represents, and I am confident that your expertise can assist me in securing my next career milestone.
 

Attached to this letter, you will find my CV and references, providing a comprehensive overview of my professional journey.
 

Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to discuss how my skills and experiences align with the opportunities your firm may have in the near future.
