Changing my LinkedIn Job title to something more fitting

I'm currently working for a small investment manager (AUM 3 Billion) as a trader. I'm currently looking for other employment however the issue I come across is that being a trader being a trader is such a niche job it hasn't been a very good marketing tool for my current employment prospects. Considering I covering healthcare for research on the equities side, help with fixed income portfolio management, and do a bunch of work updating different screens and other valuation tools, I find portfolio specialist or portfolio assistant as a more fitting title and something that could help me with the current positions I have been applying for. Any thoughts? Thanks!
