"The CAIA designation has become a recognized and distinguished mark among professionals. The CAIA program is peerless, in that no other program so earnestly strives to deliver useful, quality content focused on alternative investments and their associated strategies.
Earning the CAIA Charter gave me the knowledge needed to publish my first book, Performance Measurement for Alternative Investments. Additionally I recently started my own global-macro investment firm. Through CAIA, I was able to gain the requisite, in-depth understanding of hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and commodities. Without the CAIA designation, meeting these goals would have been nearly impossible."
