Investment Performance Policy Group 

 

The staff of the Investment Performance Policy Group focuses primarily on the development and promulgation of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®).  

 

The GIPS standards are a set of ethical based requirements grounded in the principles of fair representation and full disclosure. The GIPS standards provide a globally recognized benchmark for the calculation and presentation of investment performance information to prospective clients. 

 

Our group works with GIPS country sponsors to develop and promote use of the GIPS standards. CFA Institute also serves as the country sponsor for the United States and Canada.
