想问下这是2015年的notes吗？

CAIA的note不像CFA的note每年更新，第2版应该就是现在最新的版本了。

CAIA Curriculum Readings
The CAIA Level I and Level II curricula comprise readings that are chosen for their clarity, depth, and
synthesis of industry insights. The curriculum is revised regularly to incorporate relevant industry
developments and the latest academic research. The CAIA Association strongly encourages candidates
to ensure that they use the correct curriculum materials for the testing window in which they will be
taking the exam.
Please note that exam fees do not include the cost of the textbooks, which must be purchased from
outside vendors. We strongly recommend that candidates act early to obtain textbooks in order to
allow sufficient study time. The CAIA Association will not allow an exam to be postponed due to late
receipt of book

The official CAIA Level 1 curriculum book, updated and expanded to reflect the March 2016 exam

Alternative Investments: CAIA Level I, 3rd Edition is the curriculum book for the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Level I professional examination. Covering the fundamentals of the alternative investment space, this book helps you build a foundation in  alternative investment markets. You'll look closely at the different types of hedge fund strategies and the range of statistics used to define investment performance as you gain a deep familiarity with alternative investment terms and develop the computational ability to solve investment problems. From strategy characteristics to portfolio management strategies, this book contains the core material you will need to succeed on the CAIA Level I exam. This updated third edition tracks to the latest version of the exam, and is accompanied by the following ancillaries: a workbook, study guide, learning objectives, and an ethics handbook.

Most investment analyst education programs focus primarily on the traditional asset classes, pushing alternative investments to the sidelines. The CAIA designation was developed in response to the tremendous growth of alternative investing, and is the industry's premier educational standard. This book is your official study companion, bringing you fully up to speed on everything you need to know (with the exception of the ethics material covered in a separate handbook).

•Learn the quantitative techniques professionals use every day
•Dig into the unique aspects of alternative investments
•Master the core material covered by the CAIA Level I exam

More than 300 financial institutions and hedge funds have committed key executives to the CAIA exam, and this rapidly growing trend speaks to the designation's rising status as a must-have credential for anyone in the alternative investment sphere. Increase your chances of success by getting your information straight from the source in CAIA Level I.
