Advancing Ethical Standards in the Investment Industry
Leadership in Redefining Professional Best Practices.
As the landscape of investments evolves, with 'alternatives' moving to the forefront, the CAIA Association stands at the helm of this transformation.
Our Guiding Purpose
To pioneer a contemporary and impactful set of ethics principles that investment professionals can not only model but also champion.
These principles reaffirm CAIA’s distinct leadership in the investment industry and highlight our unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency, and the responsible stewardship of client assets.
Crafted in partnership with a globally representative workgroup of CAIA Members and the Thinking Ahead Institute, the CAIA Association® Ethics Principles represent a forward-thinking approach to oversight and ethics in the investment world.
A Commitment Made by All CAIA Members.
The CAIA designation is a hallmark of alternative investments knowledge. It signifies not only professional achievement but also a pledge to uphold the highest ethical standards and professionalism.

Upholding our ethical standards is a shared responsibility. If you believe a CAIA Member has breached the CAIA Code of Conduct or if you are aware of any violation by a CAIA Candidate or Member, we encourage you to report such instances via email to misconduct@caia.org.
