Independent Performance Certification

ACA’s Performance Certification provides independent validation of your firm’s investment track record, ensuring your performance data, methodologies, and assumptions are credible, and aligned with industry standards. This helps build investor trust and meet institutional due diligence requirements.

Our tailored review covers the full lifecycle of your performance data, including input accuracy, calculation methodologies, transparency of assumptions, and proper return linking. Each component is assessed for consistency with disclosed policies and regulatory expectations.

By validating the integrity of your performance reporting and identifying gaps in internal controls, ACA helps reduce exposure to regulatory scrutiny—especially in areas related to misleading disclosures or inconsistent data usage across platforms.
