A) List discontinued composites for at least five years. B) Comply with all requirements and be aware of updates and guidance statements. C) Provide a compliant presentation only to prospects who request one. D) When jointly marketing with a noncompliant firm, make sure the compliant firm is clearly defined as separate from the noncompliant firm. The correct answer was C) To comply with GIPS, a firm must provide a compliant presentation to all prospects. For all prospects who request them, the firm must also provide a composite list and composite description, and a compliant presentation and composite description for any composite included in the firm’s list. 2.Assume that on January 1, 2005, a 15-year old firm with no Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) compliant performance history wishes to claim compliance with the GIPS standards. Which of the following accurately reflects the appropriate action for the firm to take? A) Comply with GIPS for the year beginning January 1, 2004, and report nine additional years of performance history (ten total) and disclose why the earlier years are not GIPS compliant. B) Comply with the GIPS standards for the 5-year period January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2004, and report five additional years of non-GIPS-compliant performance and disclosure of why the performance in the earlier years is not GIPS compliant. C) Comply with GIPS for the year beginning January 1, 2004, and report four additional years of performance history (five total) and disclose why the earlier years are not GIPS compliant. D) Report up to ten years of non-GIPS-compliant history and disclose why the performance presentation is not in compliance with GIPS. The correct answer was B) In order to claim GIPS compliance, a firm must present at least five years of annual investment performance that is compliant with GIPS. If a firm or composite is less than five years old, the performance since the inception of the firm or composite must be presented. A firm may link a non-GIPS-compliant performance record to their 5-year compliant history as long as only GIPS-compliant performance is presented for periods after January 1, 2000, and the firm discloses the periods of non-compliance with an explanation of why the presentation is not GIPS compliant. |
