As I don't know what CFA stands for, I can't comment on your point 1 & 2.
CFA is mainly the study of portfolio management, hence you will find alot of CFAs working in investment management business. Of course, CFAs are working in insurance companies but I doubt any 'real' use of this qualification on their day-to-day job. Since CFA syllabus does involve study of certain financial products (which are commonly used by insurance companies), CFAs may be applying thier knowledge in this small area within the insurance firm.
