PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT FORUM

A Members Only Forum for Performance Measurement Professionals

The goal of the Performance Measurement Forum is to provide a platform for money management industry professionals to voice their opinions, suggestions and questions, with their peers in an atmosphere conducive to information exchange. In conjunction with industry leaders, members explore implementation strategies, management plans, and policy solutions that directly apply and influence their proficiencies and effectiveness. Armed with an arsenal of information constantly updated through The Journal of Performance Measurement, survey research, and quarterly newsletters, members are able to stay abreast of current changes, while building an extensive network of resources and industry contacts. The Performance Measurement Forum is a one-of-a kind learning and information-exchange facility with the capabilities and resources to give today's performance measurement specialists the knowledge necessary to keep ahead and remain competitive.

This group was founded in 1998 and has become the place for industry leaders to discuss various performance, attribution, risk, regulatory, and GIPS topics, as well as learn from the knowledge base that each person brings to the table. Since the beginning the forum has contributed to enhancing the role of performance in our industry.

For example:

• Developed standards / recomendations on attribution

• Developed recomendations on error correction

• Developed a certification program for performance measurement professionals (which has since been turned over to the CFA Institute to be used in the CIPM certification program).

• Formed working groups for hedge fund performance, vendor RFP's and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR).

The membership of this Forum combines the talents of our industry’s leading thinkers and practitioners, and provides an information network unrivaled in the industry. The Forum meets four times a year (twice a year in North America; twice a year in Europe); each meeting lasts for a day-and-a-half.
