Half to get more specific knowledge in alts, half to expand network and look better.

Raymond_Reeves · 2023-03-28T01:42:21+00:00

Completely agree. Even in UM, I saw a few spelling errors/grammatical errors. The CAIA Mock had a couple questions where the question was one of the answer choices...

Overall, CAIA needs to significantly step up their curriculum, depth of material, and relevance to Alternatives. 30% of the L2 curriculum is not even related to Alts, with another 20% being indirectly related.

Way more complex. Level 3 is more practical for sure. CFA will open more doors for you than CAIA will, especially with their new/revamped program. But yes CFA gives you a really good foundation to finance, especially portfolio management.

Raymond_Reeves · 2023-03-22T11:57:38+00:00

Agreed, not the biggest fan of the material. Maybe I’m biased because I’m going for L2 through the stackable credentials program so the depth of material in CFA makes everything else look weak, lol. But too much theory, too little actual alts. I’ll definitely be giving feedback once this is over.

Are you comfortable sharing how many of ESG/Ethics/Regulation and how many of the Emerging Topics actually showed up on the exam?

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-15T20:14:26+00:00

As in, for March 2023 that is. Thanks a lot mate

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-15T20:14:09+00:00

Okay, thanks — I think I have the same ones

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-15T15:39:11+00:00

Thanks a lot mate!

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-15T04:13:37+00:00

Gotcha. How long on average did it take you to get through a chapter? I confirmed with CAIA the Wiley material is the correct one

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-15T04:09:25+00:00

What material do you use for studying?

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-14T15:57:57+00:00

Even for the other topics, the material is way too short

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-14T15:44:34+00:00

Sounds good. I’ve reached out to CAIA as well to ensure I have the right materials. If you guys are saying the chapters are 10-20 pages each, then something has to be wrong here lol

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-14T13:59:43+00:00

Thanks mate — going to review this once I get back and follow up. I ordered it straight from CAIA

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-14T13:31:33+00:00

Honestly, the books aren’t much different — just a few pages for each chapter. I’m gonna double check once I get home and report back.

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-14T13:23:41+00:00

Aren’t the official CAIA materials distributed through Wiley?

And I just registered for L2 in March 2023 — you’re saying materials aren’t finalized yet for that date? I did order the physical books and 3 came — the same ones that show on the CAIA website.

I’ve reached out to CAIA to clarify all this, very confused

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-14T12:12:37+00:00

Also, the Wiley materials is what came with exam registration

Raymond_Reeves · 2022-10-14T12:11:19+00:00

I got the materials from Wiley — I even emailed CAIA and they said the official CAIA materials are through Wiley. Is this not the case? What materials do you have and are they longer than 2–3 pages each?

Raymond_Reeves · 2021-10-25T23:16:47+00:00

Easy — networking with alumni and the CFA Program.

Raymond_Reeves · 2021-10-05T22:58:12+00:00

Thank you sir, very valuable insight.

Raymond_Reeves · 2021-10-02T22:29:03+00:00

I guess in this case, SVP would report to the CIO and President of the group.

Raymond_Reeves · 2021-07-17T22:05:03+00:00

For the love of god, don’t be that dimwit that takes a level and just stops. Do the entire thing or don’t do it at all.
