Enhance your understanding of ethical standards governing the calculation and presentation of investment performance. In this comprehensive course, participants will delve into the principles of fair representation and full disclosure that underpin the GIPS Standards. The GIPS Standards are ethical standards for calculating and presenting investment performance based on the principles of fair representation and full disclosure. These voluntary industry standards are designed to foster transparency and global comparability in an environment where regulatory landscapes vary across jurisdictions.

The GIPS standards are developed, maintained, and promoted through the collaboration of individual volunteers from the investment community, CFA Institute, and GIPS Standards Sponsors in over 40 markets.

IMAS is the Singapore Country Sponsor for the GIPS Standards, and we are responsible for promoting and furthering the progress of the GIPS standards in Singapore. IMAS strongly encourages all its members to comply with the GIPS standards and perform verification.
