In a competitive investment environment, credit managers are under increasing pressure to deliver more than just returns; they’re expected to provide transparency, consistency, and credibility in their performance reporting. That’s where the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) come in.
Far from being a regulatory burden, GIPS® compliance offers a strategic edge. It signals to institutional investors that your firm is committed to best practices and industry-recognized standards. For credit managers, this can be a powerful differentiator in a crowded market.
At ACA, we believe that GIPS® compliance is more attainable than many credit managers realize. Our latest white paper, “Demystifying GIPS
: A Clear Path for Credit Managers,” breaks down the process and provides actionable insights to help firms get started.
Inside the paper, you’ll discover:
- How to properly define your firm and establish discretion.
- Key distinctions between composite and pooled fund reporting.
- Performance calculation best practices for CLOs and private credit.
- How FINRA’s IRR requirements align with GIPS® standards.
Whether you’re exploring compliance for the first time or looking to refine your current approach, this resource offers a clear roadmap to help you move forward with confidence.
