Satisfying CFA's 4 year requirement company, register, experience

OmarAdnan

I wanted to know if I can satisfying CFA’s 4 year requirement, if I open and register a company/hedge fund and do my own stock trading? It will give me equity experience but will it qualify as experience for the CFA?

I would think you would have to manage at least on other person’s money under that strategy.  Also, who would provide the 2 references which are required for CFAI membership?

What if I can get friends and family members to invest.
What if  I hire 2 friends for the reference?

^ interesting.  It used to be just 2 and 1 of them was supposed to be your supervisor.  I believe they allowed you to use someone other than your supervisor if you had a valid reason why you did not want him or her to know that you were applying for membership.

Also, this has to be a full-time job. No part-time.
