Anyone here take CAIA? I am thinking

[spyglass]

about signing up for the Level 1 exam. I want to get out of trading and into something more productive (for me).

I was thinking I could use the CAIA exam as a segway into some type of alternative investments consultant or risk management profession.

As I have been traing for 7 years I have forgotten a lot of my basic finance knowledge. Anyway, I would love to talk to someone about the CAIA.

Thanks.

I'm taking the Level II in Sept.

I've been in the industry for a while, so I did not think Level I was very difficult.

Good luck !!!

Spyglass - I called CAIA and they mentioned that in the past the Level I exam included questions on basic financial instruments (stocks, bonds). The Sept. 2007 exam will focus only on alternative investments as stated in the Study Guide objectives. I am registered for the Sept. 2007 exam.
