Awesome THREAD!!! ESP the mnemonic for GIPS! Anyone know or create a mnemoic for the Standards (i.e for Duties to Employers - L A R, Conflicts of Interest: CPR, etc) ? Or any other mnemonic for other topics?

If I had a dollar for everytime I made a careless mistake with variance and standard deviation I wouldn’t be taking the CFA exams!

GIPS Questions: Example: If a parent company is not GIPS compliant and say for instance it’s subsidiary, an Investment Mgmt firm is held out to clients as a distinct business entity and is GIPS compliant Who can can claim compliance ? Are they allowed to claim compliance at all? Is a subsidiary by default considered a “firm” and, therefore , can be held out as a distint BU? Haven’t looked at FRA yet but from an accounting perspective, subs get consolidated to the parent company when presenting consolidated f/s. That being said, it say’s that claiming GIPS must be applied on a “firm-wide” basis. So does the parent company have to be GIPS compliant too? Please advice. Thanks!!

^you’re welcome Good luck guys! Give this a read, could help a lot. Try to post less this week and concentrate on review. And after the exam don’t post the questions on forums, you can’t change the results anyway, why get into trouble, right? :slight_smile:
