REVIEW MY CV: This CV works fine in Canada, why won't it work in London?

I am relocating to London in June and I can't seem to get any callbacks with this CV. It works wonders in Canada but seems to miss the plot in the UK. In addition, I graduated from a Canadian University with the equivalent of a 2:2 average, is that worth mentioning? Please look at my CV and tell me how it can be improved.

PROFILE

I have completed a bachelor's degree in finance and am working towards acquiring my CFA designation. I have six years experience in the banking and investment industry, with a particular emphasis in the operations and performance department. I have well-developed organizational, technical, and analytical skills. In addition, I have five years experience actively managing my personal equity portfolio. Through my experience in the banking and investment industry, I have liaised with a multitude of portfolio managers, analysts and traders and throughout these meetings I have succeeded in developing my own investment thesis.
