Certified Hedge Fund Professional (CHP)

Certified Hedge Fund Professional (CHP)

Tomorrow on Thursday July 7th, 2011 the Certified Hedge Fund Professional (CHP) program will open again to 200 new participants. 

We always get flooded with questions about the process you have to follow to earn the CHP designation so here is an overview of how the program works:

1. First you must register for the program, it costs $975 for both CHP Level 1 and Level 2 when you pay for them both together.  The option is to pay for them at separate times which results in the cost being $775 for CHP Level 1 and $675 for CHP Level 2.  As you can see you save around $500 by registering for both levels at once so that is what 90%+ of our participants do currently.
2. After registering you will automatically be emailed a receipt for your tuition payment that you can use for tax evidence, employer reimbursement, or just your own record keeping. 
3. Our team will then be in touch with a welcome email within one business day, and a welcome folder in the mail within 10-14 days of your registration depending on what country you are based in.
4. The rest of the hedge fund training program is self-paced and 100% online.  You may study 2 hours a week or 20 hours a week, using our study guide, the recommended readings, our practice test, and our exclusive hedge fund video training platform.  
5. The examination is offered twice a year on June 15th and December 1st so you just need to let us know when you are going to take your examination and we will adjust the roster to reflect that testing date for you.  You must score an 80% or higher on this multiple choice and essay test which is offered online through a secure testing website used by 100's of colleges and universities for online examinations.  
6. After you complete CHP Level 1 & Level 2 we will send you a certificate in the mail for free to wherever you are based in the world. Over 50% of our participants are from outside of the United States with a growing number in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Over 1,200 professionals have joined this hedge fund training and certification program to do date, the full history of the program as well as the program details are available on our website at HedgeFundCertification.com.

p.s. I hope you do at least check out HedgeFundCertification.com, if you have been watching us grow over the years you will note that every time we open for registration we have added new video modules, more study aides, a better study guide, or additional hedge fund job placement services.  We will not stop improving the program and we appreciate all of the feedback that we have gotten to date from the community.

The #1 Highest Rated Book on Investing: "The Hedge Fund Book: A Training Manual for Professionals Capital Raising Executives"

Just getting back in the office here from a trip to Europe where I served as opening day chairman for the GAIM International 2011 conference and spoke on the topic of "$100,000 Hedge Fund Marketing Mistakes"  

The GAIM conference was held in Monaco where many family offices are based and cabbies drive around $100,000 Mercedes AMG coupes (see picture to the left).

The conference was great, I met several CHP designation participants, family offices, and $1B+ hedge fund managers.  It was fun to be able to meet and welcome to the stage Nassim Nicholas Taleb who wrote "The Black Swan."

The #1 Investing Book Rating Title: While traveling Wiley contacted me yesterday to congratulate me on the success of the sales of my hardcover book that I wrote last year on capital raising and hedge fund management.  While checking on my sales data in the Kindle Store for the book I saw that it is now the #1 Most Highly Rated Investing Book on Amazon.com.
