I learned about the CAIA Charter many years ago when working alongside CAIA’s own Steve Novakovic. I looked into the program, and it stayed in the back of my mind as something I might want to pursue someday. In 2022, I finally decided to take the leap, giving up nights and weekends for practice questions and mock exams.
