All About the CFA Program


Christopher J. Henneforth is an experienced business executive who has founded, advised, or bought more than 30 companies since 2004. He co-founded Omina Medical in 2014 and has since served as its chief financial officer. Complementing his executive-level experience, Christopher J. Henneforth is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®).

The CFA® charter represents exemplary understanding of ethical portfolio management and advanced investment analysis, and is available to practicing or aspiring investment professionals. Candidates must have a bachelor's degree and at least 4,000 hours of work or higher education experience acquired over the course of 3 consecutive years. Work experience doesn't have to be in the financial sector, but it must involve the application of business skills. Other requirements including having an international passport and completing a professional conduct statement.

In order to obtain CFA® designation, candidates must pass three levels of exams. The first level is entirely multiple choice, while the last includes vignette-supported multiple choice and essay questions. Questions cover topics such as financial reporting and analysis, alternative investments, and quantitative methods. The program takes an average of 4 years to complete and, depending on the candidate, typically involves more than 300 hours of study for each exam.
