"Completing the CAIA designation was the beginning of my alternative investment education. It helped give me a broad scope of knowledge in asset classes that I previously had limited exposure to during my formal investment education. CAIA provided me with a strong foundation in alternatives, on which I have been able to develop particular expertise in hedge funds, private equity and real estate."

"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.

"The CAIA designation is a comprehensive and relevant body of knowledge that provides strong professional credibility and allows both emerging and leading decision makers to navigate the complex world of Alternative Investments with increased confidence. In the institutional and corporate governance setting, the CAIA has taken a key role in offering continued professional development and education.
