Patricia Alejo, CAIA
"My main reason for becoming a CAIA was that I understood the value of alternative investments in portfolio management, and the best way to acquire this knowledge was through a specialized and professional designation such as CAIA. In addition, the University Endowment had been increasing its exposure to the asset class, so the CAIA designation was the most valuable certification to earn."
