Written by Verger Capital Management | Nov 13, 2024 4:12:02 PM

Verger Capital Management (Verger) is proud to announce that for the fourth consecutive year, we claim compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®)1. We are also pleased to recognize Tricia Walker, our Operations Director, for her continued contributions as a member of the CFA Institute GIPS® Standards for OCIOs Working Group, which recently developed a draft guidance statement. These actions reflect Verger’s commitment to performance reporting transparency and our dedication to advancing best practices within the OCIO industry.

GIPS® compliance is recognized globally as the standard for investment performance reporting and presentation. As we engage with clients and industry peers to promote transparency and comparability, Verger views GIPS® compliance as a critical tool for empowering clients and prospective clients to effectively evaluate performance across OCIO providers.

Verger is pleased to claim GIPS® compliance and to confirm that we have received independent, firm-wide verification for the period from January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2024. As part of a growing trend in the asset management and OCIO sectors, an increasing number of firms worldwide are seeking to claim GIPS® compliance. This aligns with a greater industry-wide emphasis on transparent performance standards, as noted in the CFA Institute’s recent analysis of GIPS® compliance trends across the industry.

Tricia Walker adds, “We believe that adopting the GIPS® standards aligns with our clients’ desire for transparency, and we are proud to continue our leadership in this space.” Verger’s continued commitment to GIPS® compliance demonstrates our dedication to the highest standards in performance reporting for our clients and the OCIO community.
