GIPS Standards
Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®)
The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) are a set of ethical principles designed to establish a globally standardized approach for investment management firms to present performance results transparently and fairly to prospective clients. Rooted in the principles of fair representation and full disclosure, the CFA Institute developed and continues to oversee the GIPS standards, collaborating with organizations worldwide—including the Asia Pacific Association for Fiduciary Studies (APAFS™)—to promote their adoption.
APAFS is an endorsed Country Sponsor for Micronesia, authorized by the GIPS Executive Committee to promote the GIPS standards in the region. This designation underscores APAFS’ commitment to advancing fiduciary excellence and best practices in investment performance reporting.
Ensuring Integrity in Performance Reporting
To uphold the credibility of the GIPS standards, new performance methodologies are introduced as needed, alongside rigorous procedures to ensure consistent application and interpretation. Public feedback plays a key role in refining and expanding the standards.
