The Investment Performance Measurement Committee acts as platform for discussion and development of investment performance measurement within the Netherlands. In this context, performance measurement is not limited to the calculations of returns; the attribution of returns to its underlying drivers and the analysis of investment risks are also in scope.
The committee is the official Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) sponsor for the Netherlands, and as such responsible for the development, implementation and acceptance of GIPS within the Dutch market. The GIPS standards are continuously developed and extended as a result of industry demands. The IPM committee is involved in these initiatives and provides feedback to the global GIPS organisation from the perspective of the Dutch market. The most recent GIPS standards can be found at: https://www.gipsstandards.org/
Besides the work as national GIPS sponsor, the committee organises initiatives that contribute to further knowledge and understanding of performance measurement within the Dutch asset management market. On an annual basis, we organise the ‘Dutch roundtable on performance measurement’, in which external speakers and commission members present and discuss a variety of topics related to performance measurement. Furthermore, we publish articles in the VBA magazine and contribute to educational programs for pension fund board members.
The committee has one meeting every month, organised as a physical meeting one month (office location hosted by our members) followed by a virtual meeting (MS Teams) in the other month.
The committee currently consists of representatives from various parties in the market: asset managers, software vendors, GIPS verifiers (accountants) and consultants. This contributes to a balanced discussion and development of the standards.
At the moment the committee consists of 6 active members, and we're open to new members.
If you're interested in participating in the committee, please contact our chairman Casper Lötgerink (06-10922456).
The Behavioral Economics Committee is focussing on the crossroads between economics and psychology. In the financial world, we're witnessing fear, greed and herd behaviour on a daily basis.

The committee has a meeting every two months, discusses recent publications and invites interesting speakers.
At the moment the committee counts 11 members, and we're open to fresh ideas. If you're interested in participating in this active committee, contact Wim Zwanenburg (06-42350938).
