Welcome to CAIA Washington, DC Chapter
The Washington DC Chapter of the CAIA Association, serving investment and regulatory professionals within the DC, Maryland, and Virginia areas, aims to meet frequently with alternating events focused on networking and professional development. The goal of the chapter is to bring members of the alternative investment industry and policy makers together to share ideas, create a community of industry leaders, and enhance the educational spotlight on various topics in alternative investments. Our educational events focus on everything from hedge funds and private equity to carbon trading credits and clean technology. We try to attract well known experts in their respective fields who can share their knowledge with our group. We welcome all interested Members and practitioners to get involved and hope to see you at a future event!
