Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) Handbook

This edition of the GIPS Handbook, which replaces the 2002 version, reflects the updated GIPS provisions adopted in 2005 and provides interpretive guidance as well as applications for each provision. In addition to providing the 2005 version of the Standards, the Handbook contains all Guidance Statements issued prior to 31 December 2005, both adopted and proposed. The format of the Handbook has been updated to be user friendly: it is easier to transport, no assembly required, and it is a more standard size with a lay-flat binding. The Handbook is intended for use by investment professionals worldwide who are involved in investment performance measurement and reporting.
