CFA Institute Releases 2020 Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS)
CFA Institute, the global association of investment management professionals, has released the 2020 edition of the CFA Institute Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®), set to take effect January 1, 2020. The GIPS standards are a set of standardized, industry-wide ethical principles that guide investment managers and asset owners on how to fairly calculate and present their investment results, with the goal of promoting performance transparency and comparability.
CFA Institute Seeks Volunteers for Global Industry Standards (GIS) and GIPS Committees
In 2018, the team within CFA Institute that oversees the GIPS standards became responsible for all industry codes and standards that apply to firms and asset owners. As of today, these other codes and standards include the Asset Manager Code, the Pension Trustee Code, and the Endowment Code. We will also be taking responsibility for other industry standards that are currently being developed. This change required us to change our current governance structure, including the current GIPS standards committees. Volunteers are actively being recruited to serve on the following CFA Institute committees. 

Recruiting Volunteers for GIPS Standards Committee
We are actively recruiting volunteers to serve on the GIPS Standards United States Investment Performance Committee (USIPC) as well as a new chairperson.  The USIPC serves as the United States GIPS Sponsor and acts as a forum for stakeholders of the GIPS standards. The USIPC is tasked with promoting the adoption, implementation, and development of the GIPS standards as industry best practice for calculating and presenting investment performance.
