CHP Designation

Good Afternoon,

I came across a designation called the Chartered Hedge Fund Professional (CHP) that caught my eye. A link to the site is below:

The subject matter seems interesting but the designation is newer and seems to lack widespread acceptance & credibility in the alt. investment space. Is anyone familiar with this program and have an objective opinion on it? The testimonials from people in the program are all pretty positive; however, I’ve seen comments in other forums where this certification has no credibility and people are calling BS on it. If anyone has an objective opinion on the CHP, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks Much,

Dan

I’m in favor of them when I’m stuck on the freeway and they help me get to the offramp.

I’m not in favor of them when they’re behind me if I’m driving too fast.
