Prudent Man Advisors, Inc. Announces GIPS® Compliance
NAPERVILLE, Ill. (PRWEB) July 16, 2018 -- Prudent Man Advisors, Inc. is pleased to announce that it claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has been independently verified for the period of January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2016.
GIPS is a set of standardized, industry-wide ethical principles that guide investment firms on how to calculate and present their investment performance to prospective clients. Although the adoption of GIPS is not mandated by regulation, it is considered best practice for investment advisors. Firms that claim GIPS compliance adhere to all applicable requirements of the GIPS standards, but do so through an ethical commitment to best practices.
Third-party verification brings additional credibility to a firm’s claim of compliance and requires robust review of performance composites and thorough testing of policies by an independent party. Prudent Man Advisors, Inc. chose ACA because they are the largest team of professionals solely dedicated to GIPS verification and investment performance services with a combined 250 plus years of experience amongst their professionals.
John Huber CFA, Chief Investment Officer and Senior Vice President of Prudent Man Advisors, Inc. states, “As a fiduciary that places high value on transparency in everything we do, adopting the GIPS standards to use the most rigorous performance calculations and presentation standards in our reporting is directly consistent with PMA’s core values of integrity, commitment and performance. As a growing firm that provides investment advisory services for public clients throughout the United States, we are extremely proud to have undergone the demanding process to claim compliance with the GIPS standards.”
As an SEC registered Investment Adviser, Prudent Man Advisors provides investment advisory services to public entities and local government investment pools (“LGIPs”). As a fiduciary, Prudent Man Advisors works with cities, counties, school districts and other municipalities with solving their investment challenges through custom pooled and separate account solutions.
