Welcome to CAIA Japan Chapter
The CAIA Japan Chapter has three key objectives: The first is to increase the number of Charterholders commensurate with the size of the Japanese asset management industry. We will offer both educational and networking opportunities to encourage professionals to join the Chapter. The second objective is knowledge sharing. Working with academicians and practitioners, we will facilitate learning opportunities both in theory and practice for all levels of alternative investors. Finally, the ultimate objective is to create an ecosystem in Japan for all stakeholders in alternative investments, and to create opportunities to share information with our Asian and Global CAIA networks.
