Andrew Keenan, CAIA

“When you are working in the valuation space for an investment bank the size and scope of Credit Suisse, exposure to alternative investments is ineluctable. As part of the Inventory Valuation Review process, I help breakdown and explain both why the investment bank has taken certain valuation adjustments used in fair value measurement (e.g. Credit Valuation Adjustments, Debit Valuation Adjustments, Funding Valuation Adjustments, etc.) and what were the key drivers behind salient, usually quarter-to-date, movements.

Jai Doshi, CFA, CAIA

“Shortly after receiving my CFA charter in 2017, I transitioned internally to the Hedge Fund Research Boutique at Mercer. Being relatively new to the hedge fund space, I wanted to find a way of deepening my knowledge of alternative investments as an asset class, given the rapid growth of non-traditional investments. Flicking through the books, I noticed that in addition to hedge funds, the curriculum also covered several other areas including private equity, real estate, and structured products.
