A quant trader friend of mine at a hedge fund dubbed Quantitative Methods by L'Habitant-a major book in the CAIA program-- as "Hedge Funds 101"; this can be extended to the remainder of the program.

How important is the knowledge of VBA and C++ for working as an analyst or as a risk manager in hedge funds.

I would like to develop these skills and bought some books which deal with modelling derivatives pricing in VBA/C++/Matlab.

Do you have in mind a specific book/area I should focus on in Excel/VBA/C++

Thanks for your help.
