Does have CAIA documents add plus?
I will be finishing my CFA certification this coming June (hopefully) and i started thinking about getting the CAIA (Certified Alternative Investment Analyst). So, i am in recent times wondering if that would add value given that i will be getting my CFA soon. For those who are working within the investment field, do you feel employer or your company regard CAIA with great exigency for a job candidate, i know they do when it comes to the CFA, may be not, i dont know:)

Answers: Qualifications like the CFA and CAIA are very adjectives for getting the "first look" from an employer. If you are looking for a junior level entry position, very adjectives. That said, CFA is more useful for "stock picking" and CAIA is more geared towards "alternative investment or fund picking". Thus, if you are looking to become an equity research analyst, the CAIA will not add to your probability. But if you are seeking a position in Fund of Funds, the CAIA may come in handy.
For more senior positions, the overriding factor will be your experience to some extent than your qualifications.
Having sat for both exams, I can without risk say that the CFA was more confrontational and required more time commitment. I wouldn't say the CAIA was smooth by any means, but the volume of material be much less. A nice thing roughly speaking the CAIA is that you can pass both levels contained by 1 year.
I would say that recognition for the CAIA is growing. Although the CFA is, within my opinion, still remains the 'gold standard' as for as financial qualifications are concerned.
My strategy is to finish the CAIA soon--before it become too popular and the passing rates drop to the CFA levels!
