Overview

See Agenda
The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) are a set of standardized, industry-wide ethical principles that provide investment management firms with guidance on how to calculate and report investment performance to prospective clients. Investment managers voluntarily choose to abide by the GIPS standards – compliance is not mandated by any law or regulation. For many years, GIPS compliance has been seen as an essential ingredient that can make or break a firm’s marketing efforts in terms of winning new mandates and maintaining institutional clients. This conference provides a forum in New York to discuss the most recent developments in the GIPS standards and to hear from industry experts on how they implement them, as well as other performance measurement analyses used at their respective firms. The conference allows attendees to interact with speakers during breaks and there is a networking period at the end.
