HarbourVest has partnered with CAIA to expand private markets education and support the growing need for investor expertise in alternative assets.

The collaboration will enhance the CAIA.nxt microcredential programme, focusing on practitioner-led learning that reflects real-world investment applications and evolving market trends.

HarbourVest will contribute industry insights and subject matter expertise, helping to equip both institutional and private wealth investors with the knowledge required to navigate increasingly complex private markets.

“Private markets are quickly becoming a mainstream investment category, and advancing education across the marketplace is good for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to support one of the premier education platforms in the industry at this pivotal moment of change and rapid growth,” said John Toomey, Chief Executive Officer of HarbourVest.

The initiative comes as private markets continue to expand their role in global portfolios, driving demand for high-quality, practical education among investment professionals.

“Private markets are playing a larger role in global portfolios, and the need for practical, high-quality education continues to grow,” said John Bowman, Chief Executive Officer of CAIA.

The partnership aims to combine academic frameworks with practitioner expertise, supporting improved decision-making and professional standards across the industry.

It also reflects broader trends in private equity, where firms are increasingly investing in education and knowledge-sharing to support market development and long-term growth.

CAIA will lead the rollout of new programmes globally, while HarbourVest will provide ongoing input and expertise to shape content and delivery.
