(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — White Horse Advisors, LLC, an independently-owned provider of financial advisory services to owners of closely-held businesses and retirement plan sponsors, announces that Stephen Griner, COO of White Horse Advisors, has earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation. Griner was one of only 42 percent of investment professionals to pass the June 2010 CFA exam. He is the first CFA charterholder at White Horse Advisors.

The CFA curriculum includes ethical and professional standards; financial reporting and analysis; corporate finance; economics; quantitative methods; equity, fixed income, and alternative investments; derivatives; portfolio management; and wealth planning.
“The CFA designation continues to attract individuals globally who want to enhance their knowledge and skills to succeed in today’s competitive world of investing and finance,” said John Rogers, CFA, president and CEO of CFA Institute.
