CAIA, a global professional body dedicated to alternative investments, and the SBAI, an active alliance of alternative investment managers and institutional investors and custodian of the Alternative Investment Standards, have formed a global partnership to drive better standards and professionalism in the alternative investment industry.

CAIA and the SBAI will share knowledge and collaborate on education, industry resources and transparency tools on topics including due diligence, ESG and Culture & Diversity.

CAIA and the SBAI are both recognised leaders in their respective fields, with CAIA’s professional education focus complementing the SBAI’s focus on standards and industry guidance for alternative investment managers.

CAIA and the SBAI have historically collaborated in many areas, including events and culture & diversity initiatives. This partnership will build on this ensuring the resources of both organisations are shared, for example the SBAI’s Toolbox of practical industry guidance is available to CAIA members.
