Requirement under Ethics.
GIPS - REQUIRED to follow an IPS ‘IF’ there is one in place. Otherwise, recommended to have one if there is none.

I think its an implicit requirement (or maybe explicit, I don’t remember). I don’t think you’d be following your “Duties to Clients” if you didn’t create one.

Please read CFAI Volume 1 pp 61-62.

This was related to Ethics. Well, now that you mention it, want to know both.
1) Under Ethics i.e. the CFA Standards, is IPS a requirement or recommendation?
2) Under GIPS, is IPS a requirement or recommendation?
Thanks in advance!

Requirement or Recommendation!! Is this related to GIPS or Ethics??
I remember to have read that Defined Contribution PP IPS is a requirement, I guess by the law for allowing sufficient investment alternatives, freedom to move between alternatives, literature on options available etc

Not positive but would think its a requirement given the amount of time spent on the topic
But will wait for others to opine…
