The new risk-based regulations also require accurate and complete performance presentations, with all discretionary accounts included in at least one composite. Bukenya believes Jacaranda’s performance presentation policy meets these new requirements as well as the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct because Jacaranda’s single composite includes all current and terminated client accounts, and presentations include the following statement: “Detailed information regarding the performance presentation is available on request.” Although Jacaranda does not currently comply with GIPS standards, Bukenya encourages the firm to do so within the next few years.
Q.Does Jacaranda’s performance presentation policy most likely meet required procedures for complying with CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?
A.No, because of the structure of the composite.
B.Yes.
C.No, because it is not in compliance with GIPS standards.
