Welcome to CAIA Italy Chapter
As one of the largest economies in the Eurozone, Italy is a key market for many investors and one where alternative investments are continuing to become more mainstream. Investments in hedge funds, private equity, real estate and infrastructure are now receiving increased weights in portfolios historically concentrated on traditional investments such as domestic bonds and equities.
CAIA Italy has been established to promote networking initiatives and educational events open to CAIA Members, Candidates, and professionals interested in expanding their understanding of alternative investments. Our aim is to provide our fast growing network with a platform for sharing knowledge, best practices, and insights from experienced thought leaders. The CAIA Italy Chapter promotes activities with high-profile speakers, encourages active participation of Members and Candidates, and aims to strengthen partnership opportunities with leading universities and associations.
Founded in 2017.
