From the Inside Flap Alternative Investments: CAIA Level I The official reading for the CAIA Level I exam "As the array of offerings continues to grow in the world of alternative investments, many asset classes have morphed more into industries, accompanied by a widening breadth of risk profiles and performance dispersion. Value will accrue to the astute and patient investor, and the CAIA Level I curriculum is an outstanding source for needed education."

Investors continue to either seek better risk-adjusted returns through a widening set of uncorrelated offerings, or to access an asset class or strategy that is expected to produce higher absolute returns in the current low-yield environment.
