The CHP Program is a two-level certification program. For CHP Level 2 details, please click here.
Level 1 of the CHP Program gives participants a broad foundation of knowledge that allows them to gain specialized training in the hedge fund industry.
While nothing can replace years of industry experience, the program aims to increase the breadth of knowledge that current industry professionals hold and assist those individuals transitioning into the hedge fund industry.
With those goals in mind, we have constructed the CHP Level 1 Exam to cover six modules that together provide a strong base of industry knowledge.
The six CHP learning modules cover the following topics:
Introduction to Hedge Funds
Fund of Hedge Funds
Hedge Fund Strategies
Hedge Fund Due Diligence
Portfolio Management Analytics
Hedge Fund Trends
Self-Grading Practice Exam: Our program provides you with the study tools and resources you need to complete our training and certification program.
