Anson said: "I realised that I needed to have the highest level of professional development in order to meet the challenges of investing in the sophisticated world of alternative investments. So, I decided to sit for the CAIA exam. However, achieving my charter was just a stepping stone—my CAIA training has continued to provide me with the knowledge and expertise required to be a successful investor in alternative assets."

CEO of the chartered alternative investment analyst association, and recipient of the 2010 CAIA leadership award, Florence Lombard, said: "CAIA is very fortunate for the immense contributions made by Mr. Anson to the industry as well as to our association and its members. In addition to writing our original core Level I curriculum, he is also a key member of our Curriculum Advisory Committee and was one of our first CAIA charter designees in the class of September 2003. Mark's dedication to alternative investment industry and his ability to integrate alternatives into some of the world's largest investment portfolios makes him a true leader and visionary who is most deserving of this award."
