AMHERST, Mass., The Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association (CAIA), the global professional body for the alternative investment industry, is today announcing that Nick Pollard has joined the organization’s leadership team as Managing Director of Asia Pacific (APAC).

This strategic addition to the team comes as the APAC market emerges as a critical hub for alternative investments, with institutional demand for private capital and diversified strategies continuing to rise. The Asia-Pacific region is home to 4.3 billion people, accounting for approximately 60% of the world’s population, and is set to contribute 60% of global growth this year. The region’s rapid urbanization, favorable demographics, and the rise in private wealth are creating a buoyant environment for alternative investments.
