Does being a CFP/CFA help with a career in Ibanking/Hedge fund management?

Basically I graduate in this upcoming year (degree in economics from USC) and I’m starting to look at post-graduate credentials that I could earn (CFA/CPA/CFP/ChFA). I was wondering which, if any, of these credentials would help me pursue a career in either investment banking, hedge fund management, or related fields. I know that if I end up going the wealth management route that the CFP will be the first credential that I go for, but I want to start looking at the options laid out before me If I decide to go into ibanking, etc. So my main question boils down to if any of these credentials will help with, or are necessary, for a career in the aforementioned fields Thanks.
