bjbj Review of the Certified Hedge Fund Professional (CHP) Designation Program 2 Hello, this is
Christine Zaremba. Thank you for tuning in to my 3-minute video presentation on my background,
why I completed level 1 of the Certified Hedge Fund Professional designation and what benefits
I ve received by complete level 1 of the CHP designation. I began my career as a receptionist
at Diamondback Capital Management, a firm based in Stanford, Connecticut. I commuted
there every day for a couple of weeks and eventually began utilizing my training at
the New York City based hedge fund. I worked with hedge funds professionals from around
the tri-state area at the newly acquired Diamondback Advisors New York, LLC. My primary obligations
were to support equity analysts, traders, researchers, portfolio managers as well as
our office management and our newly forming clientele. Taking on the role of two receptionists
at this brand new construction site did not deter me from gearing my way towards the path
to success. The few months I worked at this hedge fund in 2008 is what inspired me to
begin earning certified hedge fund professional designation about a year later. Here I gained
insight into the backgrounds of the interesting people who worked at this hedge fund, either
a few days a week or around the clock and I earned a great deal of respect from their
satisfaction with their professions. Most of all, I enjoyed greeting new clients and
representing the New York firm as the face of Diamondback New York. I completed CHP level
1 because I knew relatively little about the hedge fund industry in this role. Since my
preliminary understanding consisted solely of how each professional interacted with one
another, I needed to acquire information into business practices in order to access information
and current industry trends and pricing models. I utilized the Bloomberg trading platform
only temporarily so I could not advance my trading skills beyond mere pricing inquiries.
The platform did however open my eyes to new exchanges in foreign markets and territories
as well keeping me informed with financial news from around the world. Global currency
is another evolving topic that I became enthusiastic about learning. One particular example I read
on your website that I d like to gain insight into is the aftereffects of the Diamondback
Capital Management and Lehman Brothers deal. I heard the Diamondback lost $77M on the deal
but nothing ever again. At the time I worked for Diamondback they opened a new hedge fund
in New York and they told me they were creating new funds in Connecticut surrounding their
Stanford headquarters including Harbor Watch. What I d like to know is what happens to the
idea of creating new hedge funds when capital management firms performance fees are sacrificed
at every existing location? And will professionals sacrifice their performance fees based on
their rate of return at firms such as Diamondback even in the aftermath of such an occurrence?
The greatest benefit I ve earned by completing the level 1 CHP designation is by far networking
with hedge fund professionals. Not only our friends and extended family extremely enthusiastic
about sharing their knowledge in hedge fund stories, new positions are becoming available
as my initial desire which was to become an administrator at an alternative based asset
hedge fund in the city evolved into keeping my career options open after taking this course.
I find the additional marketing materials that the hedge fund group CHP designation
provides to be extremely rewarding and valuable in terms of learning what works and what doesn
t work within the hedge fund industry. For example, last Tuesday s hedge fund career
webinar, without this free real-time service providing program, I could not develop my
resume, work with a free career tips, learn about service providing and hedge fund startups
and gain a more thorough and an insightful understanding into exactly why I m taking
this course in the first place. Only one position in my life has brought me all three factors,
an enthusiasm for passion, I was the best in world at it and I never made such a great
profit within a short amount of time that I worked at Diamondback as I have at any other
position. I seek continuing on my path towards success by earning the respect of successful
hedge fund professionals being very consistent with the quality of work that I produce and
having the patience and positive attitude required to meet the demands of the hedge
fund industry and firm business practices. I believe the instruction that those who can
grow their specialized knowledge more quickly grow themselves as an asset and as a direct
result are worth more. My path to success does consist of being proactive and taking
risks, daily action and quick learning. I plan to uncover hidden opportunities that
I didn t know exist yet. Thank you so much for providing service materials in addition
to the Certified Hedge Fund Professional designation course materials. Have a great evening. PAGE
