How to write a Private Equity cover letter

A simple step-by-step guide to writing your very own winning cover letter.

Write your cover letter in the body of an email/message

Type the content of your cover letter directly into the email you are sending, or if you are applying via a job board, directly into their messaging system.

The reason for doing this it to ensure that your cover letter gets seen instantly and you can start connecting with the recruiter as soon as they open your message.

If you attach your cover letter as a separate document, the recipient will have to open up the document, which will slow the process down, or make them less likely to even open your cover letter – which could mean your application gets skipped over.

Start with a friendly greeting

To build an instant connection with the recruiter reading your cover letter, start with a warm greeting.

It should be friendly but not casual – keeping it professional at all times.

• Hi, hope you’re well
• Hi [insert recruiter name]
• Hi [insert department/team name]

Avoid overly formal greetings like “Dear sir/madam ” unless applying to very traditional companies.

How to find the contact’s name?

Addressing the recruitment contact by name is an excellent way to start building a strong relationship. If it is not listed in the job advert, try these methods to find it.

• Check out the company website and look at their  About page. If you see a hiring manager, HR person or internal recruiter, use their name. You could also try to figure out who would be your manager in the role and use their name.
• Head to LinkedIn , search for the company and scan through the list of employees. Most professionals are on LinkedIn these days, so this is a good bet.

Identify the role you are applying for

Once you have opened the cover letter with a warm greeting, you need to explain which role you are interested in.

Sometimes a recruitment consultant could be managing over 10 vacancies, so it’s crucial to pinpoint exactly which one you are interested in.

Highlight the department/area if possible and look for any reference numbers you can quote.

These are some examples you can add..

• I am interested in applying for the role of *Private Equity position* with your company.
• I would like to apply for the role of Sales assistant (Ref: 40f57393)
• I would like to express my interest in the customer service vacancy within your retail department
• I saw your advert for an IT project manager on Reed and would like to apply for the role.

Highlight your suitability

The main purpose of your cover letter is to excite recruiters and make them eager to open your CV. And you achieve this by quickly demonstrating your suitability to the job you are applying for.

Take a look at the job adverts you are applying for, and make note of the most important skills being asked for.

Then, when you write your cover letter, make your suitability the focal point.

Explain how you meet the candidate requirements fully, and why you are so well suited to carry out the job.

This will give recruiters all the encouragement they need to open your CV and consider your application.

Keep it short and sharp

A good cover letter is short and sharp, getting to the point quickly with just enough information to grab the attention of recruiters.

Ideally your cover letter should be around 4-8 sentences long – anything longer will risk losing the attention of time-strapped recruiters and hiring managers .

Essentially you need to include just enough information to persuade the reader to open up your CV, where the in-depth details will sit.

Sign off professionally

To finish off your cover note, add a professional signature to the bottom, stating your important contact details and information.

This not only provides recruiters with multiple means of contacting you, but it also adds a nice professional appearance to the cover letter, which shows that you know how to conduct yourself in the workplace.

Include the following points;

• A friendly sign off – e.g. “Warm regards”
• Your full name
• Phone number (one you can answer quickly)
• Email address
• Profession title
• Professional social network – e.g. LinkedIn

Here is an example signature;

Warm regards,

Aaron Smith Customer service professional 075557437373 [email protected] LinkedIn

Quick tip : To save yourself from having to write your signature every time you send a job application, you can save it within your email drafts, or on a separate document that you could copy in.

What to include in your Private Equity cover letter

So, what type of information should you write about in your Private Equity cover letter?

The specifics will obviously depend on your profession and the jobs you are applying to, but these are the key areas you should be covering.

• Your industry experience – Tell recruiters the types of companies you have been working for and the roles you have held in the past.
• Your qualifications – Highlight your most important relevant qualifications to show employers you are qualified to do the roles you are applying for.
• The impact you have made – Demonstrate the positive impact you have made for employers in previous jobs. Have you saved money? Improved processes? Made customers happy?
• Your reasons for moving – Employers will want to know why you are leaving your current/previous role, so provide them with a brief explanation here.
• Your availability – When will you be able to start a new job ? Check your current contract to find out your notice period if you are in a position already.

Investment Banking Cover Letter Template: Advice from the WSO Community

Here's what you need to know about the IB cover letters from our community.

CompBanker: The cover letter holds almost no weight, other than to put you at risk for being dinged. Make it very simple, very bland, and just say all the usual things. If you have mistakes in it or make outrageous claims, your cover letter will be circulated and laughed at.

Like @CompBanker said, you won't get the interview with your cover letter .

Your goal for the cover letter isn't to single-handedly land you an interview with your eloquence and grandiose; it's to check the box and make sure it's proper enough that it doesn't get you dinged .

Less Is More for Cover Letters

Our users shared great input on why 'less is more' when it comes to cover letters.

bkm125: What you really want people to be looking at is the resume. The longer your cover letter is the larger the chance that you'll have a typo or say something stupid. Just tell them what job you're applying for, who you've been in touch with at the firm, and maybe a few sentences about your qualifications and lock up the deal with a solid resume.

K.I.S.S: Keep It Simple Stupid.

Mention who you've talked to at the firm , your interest in the job, your qualifications , and briefly (very briefly) explain any gaps in your resume .

Avoid excuses , more on this later.

Two or three paragraphs is all you need for that. Any more than that , and you're giving them potential reasons to ding you .

Here's some great advice from @blackice".

blackice: The best thing you can do is name drop people you have talked to. That way I know you have done your homework, and I can ask the person you talked to how your chat was. I think cover letters are better when they are focused on your past work experience as opposed to general and arbitrary sentiments about how you are a "hard worker and team player with a strict attention to detail".

If you've talked to someone at the firm and they'd remember you, DO namedrop them in your cover letter.

Common Cover Letter Mistakes

Here are some of the usual mistakes candidates make in their cover letter as mentioned by our member @qonnect.me.

This is an example of an excuse in a cover letter:

"I realize I have more professional experience in technology than in finance. I believe that was just due to bad luck due to graduating from my MBA program at the height of the 'Great Recession '. However, I am 100% committed and motivated to prove myself in a finance position."

Bad luck? No, it's the shitty and difficult-to-read resume , cover letter , and 'research reports' that are the issue .

What goes on in the recruiters head: I'm almost certain you would be a terrible employee just by the quality of the work you sent me in a cold email . You graduated from college 10 years ago, by the way. I remember at least a few of those as being pretty good years. If you were halfway decent, you could have squeaked in the industry in more than a few of those years.

Please do not pin all of your circumstance on luck , especially in a cover letter .

Even if the reader is a big believer in luck , you're telling him you're unlucky .

Who wants to hire someone who's unlucky? It seems the bad luck streak started in utero, if you ask us.

Revealing Your Ignorance:

Even worse than just plain ignorance, is the below quote from an attached research report that a candidate had written. Since he thought it was worth including, I assume the report was something he was proud of, but it was cringe-worthy.

"I am placing a STRONG BUY recommendation on [company]. ("ticker") and believe that [the company], at the current price of $10.00, trades at a 123% discount to my estimated fair market value of $22.30" (Both made up numbers to scale to the actual numbers listed in the 'report')

The report should have never been attached .

It made a weak applicant look even worse . He's clearly never done anything but 'book learn' on these subjects. It's painfully obvious by reading the report. He uses four valuation methodologies on the stock with the sole intention of showing that he knows more than one valuation method .

If you're thinking of including a research report on a company when you're cold emailing people, it's a high-risk strategy. Your research probably sucks unless you've been doing it professionally. If there is any doubt at all about including a 'research report', do not do it.

Side note: The research report had a lot of opinions and not a lot of facts, and it lacked connections between really basic facts about the current state of the business to the 'projections'.

If you don't think you have a chance to get the job, you can toss a Hail Mary with your cover letter .

Here's a cover letter an audacious undergrad used in an effort to stand out and grab the attention of its reader .

A big swing that's either a hit or miss . We don't recommend using this cover letter unless you lack the slightest chance of getting the interview in the first place.

Dear BLOCKED, My name is (BLOCKED), and I am an undergraduate finance student at (BLOCKED). I met you the summer before last at Smith & Wollensky's in New York when I was touring the east coast with my uncle, (BLOCKED). I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk with me that night. I am writing to inquire about a possible summer internship in your office. I am aware it is highly unusual for undergraduates from average universities like (BLOCKED) to intern at (BLOCKED), but nevertheless, I was hoping you might make an exception. I am extremely interested in investment banking and would love nothing more than to learn under your tutelage. I have no qualms about fetching coffee, shining shoes, or picking up laundry, and will work for next to nothing. In all honesty, I just want to be around professionals in the industry and gain as much knowledge as I can. I won't waste your time inflating my credentials, throwing around exaggerated job titles, or feeding you a line of crap (sic) about how my past experiences and skill set align perfectly for an investment banking internship . The truth is I have no unbelievably special skills or genius eccentricities, but I do have a near perfect GPA and will work hard for you. I've interned for Merrill Lynch in the Wealth Management Division and taken an investment banking class at (BLOCKED), for whatever that is worth. I am currently awaiting admission results for (BLOCKED) Masters of Science in Accountancy program, which I would begin this fall if admitted. I am also planning on attending law school after my master's program, which we spoke about in New York. I apologize for the blunt nature of my letter, but I hope you seriously consider taking me under your wing this summer. I have attached my resume for your review. Feel free to call me at (BLOCKED) or email at (BLOCKED). Thank you for your time. Sincerely, BLOCKED.

Interested in Investment Banking - Breaking In

If you want to break into investment banking, you need to be well-prepared for the technical aspects of the interview. We advise you to check out our  Free Investment Banking Interview Guide  first, before investing in  our paid course , so that you have an idea of what to expect.

Two common mistakes that candidates make while recruiting for IB: 

• Using phrasing like "After my summer analyst stint, I learned the entire deal execution process...", "I am extremely proficient in Excel and financial modeling ...", etc. You get the idea. Be confident, but don't over-emphasize anything out of the scope of your ability to speak to it.
• Not enough emphasis on teamwork. This is important. People should know that you are able to work with others. This is easy to incorporate, just give a brief two sentence overview of what your team structure was and why it made sense.

How to Write a Compelling Cover Letter for a Private Equity Position

Learn how to write a compelling cover letter that will catch the attention of private equity firms.

Posted June 8, 2023

Table of Contents

If you're aspiring to work in the private equity industry, crafting a killer cover letter to accompany your job application is a must. To help you secure that highly coveted position in private equity, we've put together a comprehensive guide to writing a compelling cover letter. From understanding the role of a private equity professional to highlighting your relevant experience and skills, we cover all the bases so you can make the best possible impression on your potential employer.

Understanding the Role of a Private Equity Professional

Before you can write a compelling cover letter for a private equity position, it's important to understand what the role entails. At its core, private equity involves investing in companies with the aim of increasing their value. This process involves identifying strategic investment opportunities, conducting thorough due diligence, and developing and implementing growth strategies. Private equity professionals play a critical role in making these investments successful, so it's important to highlight your relevant experience, skills and knowledge when writing your cover letter.

Private equity professionals also need to have strong financial analysis skills, as they are responsible for evaluating the financial health of potential investment targets. They must be able to analyze financial statements, assess market trends, and identify potential risks and opportunities. In addition, private equity professionals must have excellent communication and negotiation skills, as they often work closely with management teams and other stakeholders to drive growth and maximize returns. Overall, a successful private equity professional must have a combination of financial expertise, strategic thinking, and interpersonal skills to thrive in this dynamic and challenging field.

The Importance of a Strong Cover Letter in the Private Equity Industry

The private equity industry is highly competitive, so standing out from the crowd is crucial. An effective cover letter can help you differentiate yourself from other applicants and showcase your suitability for the role. A strong cover letter is an opportunity to highlight not only your skills and experience, but also your passion and enthusiasm for the industry. By doing so, you can demonstrate your commitment to becoming a successful private equity professional.

One important aspect to consider when writing a cover letter for the private equity industry is to research the company and the specific role you are applying for. This will allow you to tailor your cover letter to the company's values and goals, and show that you have a genuine interest in working for them. Additionally, it is important to highlight any relevant achievements or projects that demonstrate your ability to add value to the company.

Another key factor to keep in mind is to keep your cover letter concise and to the point. Hiring managers in the private equity industry are often busy and receive a large volume of applications, so a long and rambling cover letter may not be well-received. Instead, focus on highlighting your most relevant skills and experiences, and make sure to proofread your letter carefully to avoid any errors or typos.

Researching the Company and Position Before Writing Your Cover Letter

Before writing your cover letter, it's important to research the company and position you're applying for. This may involve studying the company's website, researching its portfolio and investment strategies, and reading news articles or industry reports. Understanding the company's culture, values and mission can help you align your cover letter with its objectives and demonstrate your interest in the company. Similarly, tailoring your cover letter to the specific position you're applying for can help you make a strong case for why you're the best candidate for the job.

Another important aspect of researching the company and position is to identify any potential challenges or issues that the company may be facing. This can help you address these concerns in your cover letter and demonstrate how you can contribute to solving these problems. Additionally, researching the company's competitors and industry trends can help you showcase your knowledge and understanding of the industry, which can be a valuable asset to the company.

Finally, it's important to research the person or people who will be reading your cover letter. This can help you tailor your language and tone to their preferences and demonstrate that you've done your homework. You may be able to find this information on the company's website or LinkedIn, or you can reach out to the company's HR department to ask for more information. By taking the time to research the company and position thoroughly, you can create a cover letter that stands out and demonstrates your value to the company.

Crafting an Attention-Grabbing Introduction

Your cover letter's introduction is the first thing your potential employer will read, so it's important to make it count. Your opening paragraph should grab the reader's attention and make them want to keep reading. This may involve starting with a bold statement, a rhetorical question, or a relevant anecdote. As you introduce yourself, make sure to convey your enthusiasm for the position and the industry, and highlight any relevant experience or achievements you've had.

Highlighting Relevant Experience and Skills in Your Cover Letter

One of the most important aspects of a private equity cover letter is highlighting your relevant experience and skills. This may include experience in financial analysis, due diligence, deal sourcing, transactional work, or portfolio management. It's important to demonstrate how your previous experience has prepared you for the role you're applying for, and how it aligns with the company's investment strategy and goals. If you don't have direct experience in the private equity industry, highlight transferrable skills such as analytical ability, attention to detail, and strategic thinking.

Providing Specific Examples of Achievements and Successes

When highlighting your experience and skills, it's important to provide specific examples of achievements and successes. This may include deals you've worked on, financial models you've created, or investment opportunities you've identified. By providing concrete examples of your past successes, you can demonstrate your suitability for the private equity position you're applying for. Make sure to use numbers and data where possible to showcase the impact of your work.

Demonstrating Your Knowledge of the Private Equity Industry

In addition to highlighting your experience and skills, it's important to demonstrate your knowledge of the private equity industry. This may involve discussing recent trends or developments in the industry, or demonstrating your understanding of different investment strategies. By showing that you're up-to-date with the latest industry news and trends, you can demonstrate your commitment to the industry and your ability to add value to the company.

Avoiding Common Mistakes in Writing a Private Equity Cover Letter

When writing a private equity cover letter, it's important to avoid common mistakes that can sink your job application. These may include using a generic template, focusing too much on your education or qualifications, or making spelling or grammar mistakes. To avoid these pitfalls, make sure to customize your cover letter to the specific company and position you're applying for, and proofread it carefully to catch any errors.

Tailoring Your Cover Letter for Every Job Application

Finally, it's important to tailor your cover letter for each job application you submit. This may involve researching each company and position carefully, and adjusting your cover letter to highlight the aspects of your experience and skills that are most relevant to the particular role. Taking the time to customize your cover letter in this way can help you stand out from other applicants and increase your chances of landing the job.

Proofreading and Editing Your Cover Letter for Maximum Impact

Once you've written your cover letter, it's important to proofread it and make any necessary edits. Your cover letter should be free of spelling and grammatical errors, and should flow smoothly and logically. It's also important to ensure that it's formatted correctly and that all relevant information is included. By putting in the effort to make sure your cover letter is polished and professional, you can ensure that it has the maximum possible impact.

Using Strong Action Words and Phrases to Convey Confidence and Competence

Using strong action words and phrases can help you convey confidence and competence in your cover letter. This may involve using words like "achieved," "developed," or "led" to demonstrate your proactive approach and your ability to get things done. It's also important to avoid passive language and to use active verbs that demonstrate your commitment and enthusiasm for the position.

The Importance of Networking in Landing a Private Equity Position

While a strong cover letter can help you stand out from other applicants, it's important to remember that networking can also play a crucial role in landing a private equity position. This may involve attending industry events, reaching out to people in your network for referrals or recommendations, or connecting with potential employers on LinkedIn. By building relationships and demonstrating your interest and enthusiasm for the industry, you can increase your chances of landing a job in private equity.

Following Up After Submitting Your Cover Letter and Resume

After submitting your cover letter and resume, it's important to follow up with the company to demonstrate your continued interest in the position. This may involve sending a thank-you email or follow-up message, or reaching out to the hiring manager directly. By demonstrating your persistence and interest, you can increase your chances of standing out and landing the job.

Tips for Standing Out Among Other Applicants in the Competitive Private Equity Job Market

Finally, in the highly competitive private equity job market, it's important to do everything you can to stand out from other applicants. This may involve tailoring your cover letter and resume to each job application, networking and building relationships in the industry, and keeping up-to-date with the latest industry news and developments. By combining these strategies with a compelling cover letter and a passion for the industry, you can increase your chances of landing your dream job in private equity.
