Whether you are a seasoned professional looking to explore new
areas within the alternative investment arena or a new industry
participant seeking to establish a solid understanding of
alternative investments, Alternative Investments: An Allocator's
Approach, Fourth Edition (CAIA Level II curriculum official text)
is the best way to achieve these goals. In recent years, capital
formation has shifted dramatically away from public markets as
issuers pursue better financial and value alignment with ownership,
less onerous and expensive regulatory requirements, market and
information dislocation, and liberation from the short-term
challenges that undergird the public capital markets. The careful
and informed use of alternative investments in a diversified
portfolio can reduce risk, lower volatility, and improve returns
over the long-term, enhancing investors' ability to meet their
investment outcomes. Alternative Investments: An Allocator's
Approach (CAIA Level II curriculum official text) is a key resource
that can be used to improve the sophistication of asset owners and
those who work with them. This text comprises the curriculum, when
combined with supplemental materials available at caia.org, for the
CAIA Level II exam. "Over the course of my long career one tenet
has held true, 'Continuing Education'. Since CalSTRS is a teachers'
pension plan, it is no surprise that continuing education is a core
attribute of our Investment Office culture. Overseeing one of the
largest institutional pools of capital in the world requires a
cohesive knowledge and understanding of both public and private
market investments and strategies. We must understand how these
opportunities might contribute to delivering on investment outcomes
for our beneficiaries. Alternative Investments: An Allocator's
Approach is the definitive core instruction manual for an
institutional investor, and it puts you in the captain's chair of
the asset owner." --Christopher J. Ailman, Chief Investment
Officer, California State Teachers' Retirement System "Given their
diversified cash flow streams and returns, private markets continue
to be a growing fixture of patient, long-term portfolios. As such,
the need to have proficiency across these sophisticated strategies,
asset classes, and instruments is critical for today's capital
allocator. As a proud CAIA charterholder, I have seen the practical
benefits in building a strong private markets foundation, allowing
me to better assist my clients." --Jayne Bok, CAIA, CFA, Head of
Investments, Asia, Willis Tower Watson
