Boston Chapter

Welcome to CAIA Boston. Long a renowned global hub of traditional asset management, Boston today has an impressive and growing footprint in the alternative investment industry—from the usual suspects of private equity, hedge funds, and real estate, to the more esoteric timber, volatility (as an asset class), and more. And we all know that even those "traditional" shops are building out their alternative product lines. It is an exciting time, indeed. read more

The Boston chapter's mission is to be the link between individual practitioners, asset and wealth management firms, portfolio managers, product managers, and Boston's academic community. We take our role seriously to be a resource and voice in the ever-unfolding debate surrounding the role of alternatives in portfolio construction. Since our inception, we have hosted numerous interactive educational events with expert panels and speakers from all corners of the industry. We also form links through networking, outreach, and career management activities. We look forward to you joining our rapidly growing chapter, and welcome your enthusiasm and expertise.

CAIA members residing in MA, RI, ME, VT, and NH comprise the membership of the chapter. Other members are welcome to join the chapter by adjusting the settings on the CAIA profile.
Non-members are invited to join the chapter mailing list.
