New/changes for March 2012

  1. Price. For those who haven’t read in other posts, this is last chance to get in at $900/$1000. After this round, prices go up to $1150/$1250.

  2. Name of books. Seems like they renamed Current & Integrated topics to *Core* and Integrated, and Core topics to *Advanced* Core.

  3. Curriculum. In the CAIA Sept newsletter, they mentioned adding Green Investing to the curriculum.

“Making the CAIA Program More Accessible”, Florence Lombard, CEO… “This fall, we are introducing green investing to the CAIA program with the release of the updated Current and Integrated Topics book, now called Core and Integrated Topics, for the Level II CAIA exam.”

Other than the below article, did anyone else find out what they’re added/changed?
