CAIA Level II 2e + EPDF

CAIA Association has developed two examinations
that are used to certify Chartered Alternative Investment
Analysts. The Level I curriculum builds a foundation in both
traditional and alternative investment markets--for example, the
range of statistics that are used to define investment performance
as well as the many types of hedge fund strategies. The
readings for the Level II exam focus on the same strategies,
but change the context to one of risk management and portfolio
optimization. Level II CAIA exam takers have to work
through the following agenda:





asset allocation & portfolio oversight

style analysis

risk management

alternative asset securitization

secondary market creation

performance and style attribution

indexation and benchmarking
