CAIA Program
The Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst program provides individuals with the core competencies required to create, manage, and monitor an institutional-quality portfolio consisting of both traditional and alternative investments.
CAIA Program
The CAIA Program is designed to facilitate self-directed learning for today's busy professionals through a comprehensive set of readings on risk-return attributes of institutional quality alternative assets. Candidates' knowledge is assessed through exams, administered globally at computerized testing centers. The program is organized into two levels of study; the Level I and Level II exams are offered twice each year, in March and September, giving candidates the opportunity to earn the CAIA Charter within a single year. Once a qualified candidate completes the CAIA Program, he or she is eligible for CAIA membership.
