Markets move fast. Curriculum should move deliberately.
Investment trends don’t arrive neatly once a year. They emerge, overlap, and evolve continuously.
The CAIA Global Curriculum Committee meets quarterly to track shifts as they happen, so when the CAIA curriculum is updated annually, it reflects a full year of informed, deliberate insight. Their role is to:
Review the full Candidate Body of Knowledge over a three-year cycle
Identify emerging trends, skills, and knowledge areas to ensure globally relevant coverage
Provide feedback on proposed curriculum changes and enhancements
Committee Composition
The Committee includes representation from across all global regions. Each will serve a three-year term, contributing practitioner-level insight from global markets to challenge, refine, and strengthen what the industry learns next.
