As a growing number of investors add alternative investments to their portfolios, financial institutions need to bring alternative investment expertise to their professional teams. The CAIA designation is the one globally recognized certification that demonstrates commitment to the highest ethical standards and deep expertise in the full breadth of alternative investment opportunities.

Individuals who have achieved the CAIA designation have taken steps to separate themselves from the pack. They are elite, cutting-edge and most importantly, they are staying current in an increasingly complex financial environment. That’s why top firms are now supporting and requiring this valuable designation.

"I have observed on a daily basis the value that participation in the CAIA program can bring to a firm. The program provides a common analytical foundation for our employees, making it easier for us to serve more effectively our institutional investors. As a result, we consider the CAIA program required training for both investment and non-investment personnel."
