NEW YORK, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CIFC Corp. (NASDAQ: CIFC) announced today that CIFC Credit Funds claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has been independently verified since inception in November 2012 through December 31, 2014.
For purposes of applying the GIPS® standards, CIFC Credit Funds refers to CIFC's total return credit funds, structured credit funds, and customized separately managed accounts ("SMAs"), managed on behalf of institutional and individual investors (which for GIPS® purposes is defined as the Firm). Total Assets Under Management for the CIFC Credit Funds as of March 31, 2015 is $0.8 billion.
The GIPS® standards are a rigorous set of standardized, industry-wide investment performance measurement principles that provide investment firms with guidance on how to calculate and report their investment results to prospective clients. They are recognized around the world for their unparalleled credibility, integrity, scope, and uniformity, enabling direct comparability of a firm's track record. The GIPS® standards were created and are administered by the CFA Institute, the global, not-for-profit association of investment professionals that awards the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, among others.
Oliver Wriedt, Co-President of CIFC commented, "GIPS® compliance and verification is another step towards our commitment to adopt best practices and ensure transparency in reporting to our investors."
Rahul Agarwal, Chief Financial Officer of CIFC stated that, "CIFC Credit Funds retained the services of ACA Performance Services to examine performance measurement policies and procedures and verify compliance with the requirements of the GIPS standards. ACA was a very knowledgeable partner throughout the process."
