Why study CAIA?

Designed to be the global mark of distinction for professionals employed in all areas of alternative investment markets. The curriculum provides breadth and depth by first placing emphasis on foundations and then by building applications in portfolio settings and in asset allocation.

Today's competitive global marketplace requires investment professionals to distinguish themselves and understand the industry beyond their national and professional borders. As an internationally recognised charter program, the CAIA designation's international appeal draws candidates from around the world who understand this need.  The CAIA Charter is the global mark of distinction in alternative investments.

Launched in 2002, the CAIA program has seen over 60% growth in the enrolment rate of candidates from over 70 countries.
