The CAIA Program

The CAIA program provides finance professionals with an extensive foundation of knowledge in alternative investment vehicles, including hedge funds, commodities, managed futures, real estate, and private equity.

The curriculum is designed by leading academics and practitioners, and is divided into two levels. Level I introduces the candidate to the core topics in the field of alternative investments and Level II covers advanced topics in the field. Both Levels I and II cover topics relating to ethics and standards of professional conduct. The CAIA curriculum is revised twice a year to ensure adherence to the latest developments in research and industry practices.

Candidates registered for the CAIA program are assumed to have an understanding of the prerequisite material. For further information on the Prerequisite Program, please visit the CAIA prerequisite webpage.

 The new curricula will be posted soon.
