Investment Performance Measurement Committee

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.

GIPS Sponsor

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/

Roundtable and publications

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.

How does the committee work?

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.


Interested to join the committee?

If you're interested in participating in the committee, please contact our chairman Casper Lötgerink (06-10922456).
 

Behavioral Economics Commissie

De commissie Behavioral Economics houdt zich bezig met het scheidsvlak tussen economie en psychologie. In de (financiële) wereld worden we dagelijks geconfronteerd worden met hebzucht, angst, zelfoverschatting en kuddegedrag. Dat beleggers daarin altijd rationele beslissingen nemen, lijkt dan ook hoogst onzeker.

De commissie verdiept zich in dit gebied van de economie en probeert haar kennis te vergroten en deze uit te dragen middels bijeenkomsten en artikelen. De commissie vergadert elke 2 maanden en bespreekt daarin recente artikelen, nodigt interessante sprekers uit en discussieert over hoe behavioral economics beter onder het voetlicht gebracht kan worden. 

Wij hebben op dit moment 11 leden en staan open voor nieuwe frisse ideeën. Als je interesse hebt om deel te nemen aan deze actieve commissie in een volop in ontwikkelend zijnd vakgebied, neem dan contact op met Wim Zwanenburg (voorzitter, tel (06-42350938).
