Charter (paper) is in; what will you do with it?

CAIA
#1

Just got mine in the mail. Not sure what to do with it. Hang it on the wall, copy it and hang it at work, or just leave it tucked away somewhere? What will you all do with the charter?

#2

My safe is too small, so i left it on my safe… But i might wanna frame it someday. Study material: only Schweser. Especially the QBank was very helpful (didnt like the small cards i ordered also; almost not used them).

I framed mine, but it looks very small next to my CFA charter.

Rydex, do you have to pay a fee to maintain this CAIA charter every year? If yes, how much ?

#6

Yeah, I think there is a couple hundered dollar membership fee. But you get access to quite a bit of research material, Journal of Alternative Investments, allaboutalpha, and a number of others sources. Not too bad. Usually employers pay it.

Rydex, did you use the Qbank (scheiwser) or TestBank(uppermark) to prepare your level one ? Do your think the degree of difficulty is about the same in comparison to the real exam ? many thanks…

I used uppermark for level 1, and schweser for level 2. Schweser is usually a safe bet.
