The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) were originally developed for asset managers but are increasingly relevant to asset owners. This session explores GIPS from an Australian superannuation fund perspective, particularly amid heightened regulatory scrutiny, the Your Future Your Super performance test and evolving governance expectations.

Amy Bourdeau will provide a practical GIPS overview, covering Total Fund reporting, return methodologies, valuation and fair value, GIPS Asset Owner Reports and verification. A worked example will demonstrate how these concepts apply in practice.

Ethics is woven throughout, highlighting how fair, consistent and transparent performance reporting supports good governance, professional integrity and stakeholder trust.

Key takeaways
