Preparatory Programs
The CAIA curriculum materials and CAIA study guides are the only preparation materials endorsed by the CAIA Association® and are the candidate’s best source of information regarding what content is eligible to be tested on the CAIA exams.
Some candidates also find it useful to augment their study of the CAIA curriculum materials with third-party preparation programs. The CAIA Association does not endorse, promote, review, or warrant the accuracy of the courses, products, materials and/or services offered by any third-party program provider.
Beginning with the September 2012 Level I exam, the CAIA Association is introducing the revised and updated CAIA Level I: An Introduction to Core Topics in Alternative Investments, Second Edition. This textbook and the accompanying study guide contain everything candidates need to know to build a solid foundation in alternative investment markets and to prepare for the CAIA Level I exam. They include comprehensive insights into all of the various strategies within each alternative asset class as well as portfolio management concepts central to alternative investments.
