With respect to the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS), which of the following is one of the eight major sections that reflect the elements involved in presenting performance information()
A. Real Estate.
B. Derivatives.
C. Legal and Ethical Considerations.
参考答案:A
解析:
Fundamentals of Compliance: These are issues for firms to consider when claiming GIPS compliance. Definition of the firm is part of this. Input Data: Input data should be consistent in order to establish full, fair, and comparable investment performance presentations. Calculation Methodology: Certain methodologies are required for portfolio and composite return calculations. Uniformity in methods is required. Composite Construction: Creation of meaningful, asset-weighted composites is important to achieve a fair presentation. Disclosures: Certain information must be disclosed about the presentation and the policies adopted by the firm. Presentation and Reporting: Investment performance must be presented according to GIPS requirements, and when appropriate, other firm-specific information should be included. Real Estate: These provisions apply to all real estate investments (land, buildings, etc.) regardless of the level of control the firm has over management of the investment. Private Equity: These must be valued according to the GIPS Private Equity Valuation Principles, unless it is an open-end or evergreen fund (which must follow regular GIPS).
