1. GIPS Standards

Brief history

  • AIMR Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional

Conduct (1962)

  • Investment Performance Standards
  • AIMR-PPS (1993)
  • GIPS (1999)
  • Evolution of GIPS
  • 1995 committee formed and funded by AIMR to

    develop GIPS

  • 1995-98 committee meets, debates and creates

    standards

  • a truly global industry initiative (over 20

    countries involved)

  • 1998 proposed GIPS released to public for

    comment

  • 1999 final GIPS adopted by AIMR Board and

    published

  • 1999 Investment Performance Council (IPC) formed
  • 2000-03 IPC subcommittees formed to develop GIPS

    further

  • 2004 proposed revised version of GIPS released

    for public comment

  • February 2005 CFA Institute Board of Governors

    adopt revised GIPS standards

  • Nov-Dec 2005 new GIPS Council and Executive

    Committee formed

  • March 2006 GIPS Summit in London (1st gathering
  • of all Country Sponsors)

    Why are standards necessary?

    • Perceived questionable practices
    • Back testing
    • Model portfolios
    • Portable performance
    • Survivorship bias
    • Self selection or representative account/period

    (cherry picking)

  • International comparability
  • Conflicting standards in some countries
  • Lack of standards or commonality in some countries
  • Perceived questionable practices Solved with GIPS

    standards

    • Model or back tested results not permitted
    • Performance record is owned by the firm
    • Terminated accounts history must stay with firm
    • Remove account subjectivity (cherry picking)

      firm must include all fee paying accounts in

      compliant presentations

    • Remove time subjectivity must report annual

      returns

    GIPS objectives

    • To obtain worldwide acceptance of standards for

    calculating presenting results

  • To ensure accurate and consistent data
  • To promote fair, global competition among

    investment firms

  • To promote industry self-regulation on a global

    basis

  • Key requirements of GIPSFundamentals of

    compliance

    • GIPS standards must be applied on a firm-wide

    basis (0.A.1)

  • Firms must include the performance of assets

    assigned to a sub-advisor in a composite provided

    the firm has discretion over the selection of the

    sub-advisor (0.A.4)

  • Firms must document, in writing, their policies

    and procedures used in establishing and

    maintaining compliance (0.A.6)

  • Firms must meet all the requirements of GIPS

    standards (0.A.8)

  • Firms must make every reasonable effort to

    provide a compliant presentation to all

    prospective clients (0.A.11)

  • Firms must provide a composite list and composite

    description to any prospective client that makes

    such a request (0.A.12)

  • Key requirements of GIPS (contd)Input data

    calculation methodology

    • All data necessary to support firms compliance

    must be captured and maintained (1.A.1)

  • Portfolio valuations must be based on market

    values (1.A.2)

  • Portfolios must be valued at least monthly since

    2001 (1.A.3)

  • Total return, incl. realised and unrealised gains

    and losses plus income, must be used (2.A.1)

  • Time-weighted rates of return must be used and

    periodic returns must be geometrically linked

    (2.A.2)

  • Returns from cash and cash equivalents held in

    portfolios must be included in total return

    calculations (2.A.4)

  • Firms must calculate composite returns by asset

    weighting the individual portfolio returns at

    least quarterly (2.A.6)

  • Key requirements of GIPS (contd)Composite

    construction and maintenance

    • COMPOSITE central/key concept of GIPS
    • aggregation of individual portfolios representing

    a similar investment mandate, objective, or

    strategy

  • All actual, fee-paying, discretionary portfolios

    must be included in at least one composite

    (3.A.1)

  • Composites must include new portfolios on a

    timely and consistent basis after the portfolio

    comes under management (3.A.3)

  • Terminated portfolios must be included in the

    history of the composites up to the last full

    measurement period under management (3.A.4)

  • Portfolios are not permitted to be switched from

    one composite to another unless documented

    changes in client guidelines or the redefinition

    of the composite make it appropriate (3.A.5)

  • Key requirements of GIPS (contd)Disclosures

    • There are 26 disclosure requirements
    • Firms must disclose the definition of Firm used

    to determine the total firm assets and firm-wide

    compliance (4.A.1)

  • Firms must disclose the availability of a

    complete list and description of all of the

    firms composites (4.A.2)

  • Firms must disclose the presence, use, and extent

    of leverage or derivatives (if material),

    including a sufficient description of the use,

    frequency, and characteristics of the instruments

    to identify risks (4.A.5)

  • Firms must clearly label returns as gross-of-fees

    or net-of-fees (4.A.6)

  • Firms must disclose the appropriate fee schedule

    (4.A.12)

  • Firms must disclose the composite creation date

    (4.A.24)

  • Key requirements of GIPS (contd) Presentations

    • The following must be reported for each composite

    presented (5.A.1)

  • a. at least five years (or since firm or

    composite inception) performance that is GIPS

    compliant

  • b. annual returns for all years
  • the number of portfolios and amount of assets in

    the composite

  • a measure of dispersion of individual portfolio

    returns for each annual period

  • Firms may link non-GIPS-compliant returns to

    their compliant history so long as the Firms meet

    the disclosure requirements for noncompliant

    performance and only compliant returns are

    presented for periods after 1 January 2000

    (5.A.2)

  • The total return for the benchmark that reflects

    interpretation (incl. a glossary)

  • Private Equity Provisions and guidelines for

    their interpretation (incl. a glossary)

  • NOTE all of the above are now part of the

    revised GIPS standards as Sections 6 and 7,

    respectively, and are effective from 1 January

    2006

  • Evolutionary approach 3-pronged process used to

    date

    • 1. Extending the scope of the Standards to

    adequately address

  • additional asset classes (e.g. private equity,

    hedge funds)

  • technical areas (e.g. fees, derivatives, tax)
  • 2. Evolving the Standards
  • by providing ongoing guidance and interpretations

    Global endorsementCountries that have already

    adopted GIPS principles

    • IPC-Endorsed CVGs, TGs GIPS (in English)

      Global convergence One brand GIPS

      • Global convergence
      • expected to be achieved in 2006
      • GIPS will then become a truly global Standard
      • 18 countries either have already replaced or are

      in the process of replacing their existing CVG

      (or TG) with the GIPS standards

    • all CVGs are expected to disappear and be

      replaced by the GIPS standards

    • some TGs (translations of GIPS) will remain

      necessary (e.g. France) and hopefully new ones

      will emerge in other countries (e.g. China, etc)

    • One brand
    • aim is to create a single brand for GIPS worldwide
    • The Goal

      • To have all countries adopt GIPS as the standard

      for investment firms to present historical

      investment performance
