Curriculum Readings
The CAIA Level I and Level II curricula are based on the readings provided in the links below, to be used in conjunction with the study guides. These books and articles are chosen for their clarity, depth, and synthesis of industry insights. To maintain currency, the curriculum is revised annually to incorporate relevant industry developments and the latest academic research.
The exam registration fee does NOT include the cost of the curriculum readings and candidates remain responsible for covering all expenses associated with the purchase of the readings. The CAIA Association does not sell or maintain an inventory of these readings. They must be purchased from outside vendors. Direct links to several online vendors are provided in the lists below.
The CAIA Association cannot guarantee textbook availability from any given vendor. All textbook stock or delivery issues must be taken up directly with the bookseller(s). Please note: It is solely the candidate's responsibility to locate and obtain all textbooks prior to the examination period and within a timeframe allowing sufficient study. The CAIA Association does not allow an exam to be postponed due to late receipt of books.
