The first and only comprehensive explanation of GIPS,
including how to comply with and implement them

While the CFA Institute has published Global Investment
Performance Standards (GIPS) for years, there has never been a
serious discussion of their implementation and best use.

In this new book, that void is filled, and you'll quickly
discover how to calculate, present, and interpret investment
performance conforming to standards that are currently used in over
thirty countries worldwide. Covering both the mathematics of
relevant investment statistics and the policies and procedures for
achieving and maintaining compliance, this book is a comprehensive
guide to successfully using GIPS standards in today's turbulent
investment environment.

* Chapters include information on GIPS fundamentals, performance
composites, risk and dispersion measurement, and much
more

* Examples are provided throughout, and supplemental formulas
make the book usable as a reference

* Provides the detailed knowledge currently needed by a large
group of investment professionals

If you're in the field of finance, Complying with the Global
Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) is a book you need
to read.
