Within this article we cover the top 5 most common hedge fund training questions that we see
being asked within the alternative investment community.
Top 5 Hedge Fund Training Questions
1. Should I be attending industry conferences and seminars to learn more about the industry?
Probably not. Most conferences are revenue generators for large media companies more than
anything else, they are generic and not very valuable to complete long-term. They can be good for
connecting with potential employers but only if you can go for free or for very little investment. The
only exception to this are those very focused training seminars which are crafted towards a very
specific piece of HF knowledge or expertise such as capital raising or prime brokerage.
2. What is the best way to gain the knowledge I need to get into a entry level HF job? The best
way would be to gain a mentor in the industry, complete a certification program, and meet with as
many HF industry professionals and managers as possible.
3. Why should I consider completing a HF certification program? HF designation and certification
programs can be very valuable to your career progress because they allow you to quickly learn
about the HF industry, get career and resume coaching, and gain credibility once you pass their
examination process.
4. How much should I expect to pay for a designation, campus course, class, or conference in the
HF industry? Most programs should cost between $1,000 and $2,000, it would be rare that a high
quality program would cost less and anything more would be too expensive to be worth paying for
really.
5. What is the fastest way to gain the knowledge I need to work in the HF industry? The fastest
way is to subscribe to blogs, newsletters, read books, seek out a mentor, and take action every
single day towards learning more about the specific area you want to work in within the industry.
I hope this overview of common questions about HF training and certification programs helps you
better understand the courses, classes, designations, and education options out there available to
you.
That said, most professionals in the hedge fund industry can benefit by completing a online
training program or certification of some type such as the Certified Hedge Fund Professional
(CHP) Designation.
