Why Pursue the CAIA Designation?

Employers and clients alike will demand experienced, trustworthy professionals with working knowledge of the Alternative Investment industry. The CAIA designation is recognized globally as the benchmark for analysis, application, and standards of practice in the alternative investment arena.

This usually means people working for hedge funds and private equity, although a CAIA designation is also useful to people working for traditional financial institutions in non-traditional roles, like those managing the derivatives book or the trading desk.CAIA Training
