Hear our expert staff and Members speak on topics ranging from practical strategies in hedge fund investing to the importance of education in the alternatives space.

As the landscape of investments undergoes a remarkable shift with 'alternatives' taking center stage, the CAIA Association is taking a leadership role in the development of a modernized and relevant set of fiduciary practices for investment professionals and capital allocators to embrace.

Why This Matters?

With the launch of our Open Comment Period on March 5, we invited all stakeholders to join us on this transformative journey, recognizing the need for principles that not only align with the industry's current trajectory but also lay the groundwork for a sustainable and responsible future for alternative investments. John Bowman, President, CAIA Association, and Steven Novakovic, Managing Director, Curriculum, CAIA Association hosted a lively discussion about:

• The driving force behind this shift and why it's crucial for industry professionals to be at the forefront of this evolution.
• The significance of embracing modernized fiduciary practices and what it means for your role in the industry.
• How this initiative reaffirms CAIA Association's position within a new era for ethical investment practices.
• How you can actively participate and contribute to the development of the eight ethics principles presented.

CAIA New York presents: Author Talk with Gregory Zuckerman on The Man Who Solved the Market Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history. No other investor can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance’s signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66%. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion—Simons is worth $23 billion. Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that’s sweeping the world. Zuckerman’s most recent book, The Man Who Solved the Market, is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It’s also a story of what Simons’s revolution means for the rest of us. Join Andrew Saunders, CAIA NY Chapter Head as he talks with Gregory Zuckerman.
