"A few years ago, I saw a huge emerging trend in Latin America, to include an alternative asset in Institutional and Private Wealth Clients’ portfolios. I wanted to participate actively in including that asset class within the portfolios that I was managing, however, at that moment, I felt I needed more expertise and background in order to analyze and take a more professional approach to the challenge. Fortunately, I found CAIA Association which provided certification to help me to feel more confident and prepared. I have been a CAIA member since 2016.”
