CAIA Curriculum
The CAIA curriculum provides breadth and depth by placing an emphasis on foundations in the Level I program, and by addressing issues such as due diligence, portfolio management, risk management, and portfolio monitoring in Level II. Ethics and professional codes of conduct are the cornerstones of our program and are therefore covered in both levels. The CAIA Association recognizes the work of the CFA Institute in developing the internationally accepted Standards of Practice Handbook and has incorporated it into the CAIA curriculum.
The study guides contain essential information for candidates, including keywords, learning objectives, and sample questions. All candidates are encouraged to download and read the study guide for the exam level they are taking.

The CAIA Association does not sell or maintain an inventory of these textbooks. Sometimes a vendor will run out of a particular title, and the CAIA Association cannot guarantee textbook availability from any given vendor. It is solely the candidate's responsibility to obtain all textbooks prior to the examination period, within a time frame that will allow sufficient study. The CAIA Association does not allow an exam to be postponed due to late receipt of books. There are no exceptions to this policy.
