'The newly formed Canadian Investment Performance Committee (CIPC)'

We are happy to announce that the Canadian Investment Performance Committee (CIPC) was formally recognized by the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) Executive Committee as the official sponsor of the GIPS Standards for the Canadian market. The objective of the CIPC is to promote and advance the GIPS Standards in Canada, and to support its promotion internationally. Some of its initial activities will include reviewing guidance statements issued by CFA Institute, obtain feedback from the Canadian marketplace and forward submissions to the Performance Standards bodies, including the GIPS Executive Committee.
