Founded in 2008, the Center for Alternative Investments (CAI) focuses on developing research and information, providing education and building community with respect to several areas of alternative investments including private equity, hedge funds, venture capital and real estate. The Center aims to be a global leader in the Alternative Investment industry through collaboration among industry practitioners, faculty and students. While the Center primarily engages with institutional investors, it works closely with General Partners as well to provide a balanced understanding of the alternative investment industry.
The Center’s Board, staffed by private equity Limited Partners, oversees roughly $800Bn AUM and helps guide the Center’s strategic vision. This vision has helped the Center establish itself as a premier hub in the Alternative Investment industry through its research, classes, conferences, competitions, seminars and publications. For students, the Center provides a platform to learn about the Alternative Investment industry while networking with experienced practitioners. In addition to classes, students have the opportunity to take advantage of the Center’s extensive alumni network and internship program abroad. We look forward to your participation in the Center.
