Prepare for the CAIA exams with EDHEC Asset Management Education


Benefiting from the experience of a triple accredited business school which is recognised as a centre of excellence for applied research in asset management and alternative investment, EDHEC Asset Management Education offers a range of solutions to leverage the review efforts of CAIASM candidates.

     

EDHEC as Authorised Provider

The mission of EDHEC Asset Management Education is to help investment professionals to upgrade their skills with advanced risk and asset management training across traditional and alternative classes.

EDHEC Asset Management Education is registered with CFA Institute® as an Approved Provider of the Continuing Education Programme and has been an Authorised CAIA Preparatory Programme Provider since 2004.


The CAIA Association® has handpicked EDHEC Business School as Authorised CAIA Preparatory Programme Provider owing to the excellent reputation the school has earned within the alternative investment community. This privileged position is founded on the industry-sponsored programmes conducted in the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre, on the EDHEC Alternative Indexes and on a team of professors and research engineers who are regarded as international experts in traditional and alternative investment management.

Being at the forefront of innovation in alternative investments, the work of EDHEC Business School has had a strong impact upon the development of the CAIA curriculum. Reference texts and articles authored by EDHEC faculty have thus naturally found their way into the programme’s required readings.

François Serge Lhabitant’s best-selling Hedge Fund Quantitative Insights notably serves as the backbone to Level I quantitative topics. Articles by researchers of the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre are regularly added to the Level II section devoted to research advances. The latest additions deal with hedge fund replication and the Amaranth debacle.


CAIASM September 2008: EDHEC Asset Management Education Intensive On-Site Review Seminars

   

"I am pleased to report that I passed Level II - with top grades in all sections! The lecturers should be commended for their excellent review courses and the clearly arranged and thorough material they designed."

Axel Weytens, CAIASM, CIO Alternative Investments, Natexis Asset Square

As Authorised CAIA Preparatory Programme Provider, EDHEC Business School provides candidates with a range of flexible preparatory solutions allowing them to leverage their review efforts and take the CAIA® examinations with the best chance of success. EDHEC Business School boasts the longest and strongest track record of CAIA review course provision and has helped professionals from more than 180 organisations pass the CAIA® exams with excellent results.

Designed and delivered by experienced academics and practitioners, our courses consist of three days of intensive instruction for each level and take place at least one month before the exams in Paris and London.
