Effective January 1st 2020, CFA Institute implemented the third modification to the GIPS® standards to empower a more transparent, consistent and comparable reporting on investment returns.

While once an optional component of the investment process for asset managers, the GIPS® standards have since become the leading reporting standard expanding to asset owners and capital allocators across all investor types.

On December 3rd 2020 we had the privilege of hosting Olivier Lebleu, Senior Director, Institutional Relations EMEA and Iain McAra, Director of Investment Performance Standards for EMEA from CFA Institute to discuss how the 2020 GIPS® standards help hedge funds and private equity firms boost investor credibility and confidence to stand out in the crowd and how asset owners can use the standards, to enhance their due diligence processes and manager selection criteria.

In this webinar, we provided insights into:

  • Vehicle-Based Reporting - Firms can present performance in line with how a strategy is being marketed.
  • Carve-Outs with Allocated Cash - Carve-out performance adhering to specific rules to be utilized as a way to represent a new strategy/fund based on, e.g. a vertical within an existing fund.
  • Additional Return Presentation Options - Presentation of time-weighted rates of return (TWR) or money-weighted rates of return (MWR, formerly referred to as internal rates of return, IRR) depending on the control of external cash.
