Golden State Asset Management Announces Compliance with The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®)

SOUTH COAST METRO, Calif., Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Golden State family of companies ("Golden State"), registered investment advisers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, announced today that their affiliated company, Golden State Asset Management ("GSAM"), claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards ("GIPS®")¹.

They are voluntary industry standards that provide transparency and global comparability in a world where regulations and market practices differ significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

GSAM enables fee-based financial advisors with tools and research to optimize their business' investment process.

"Transparency has always been important to the mission and vision of Golden State. We are thrilled to have consistency in our guidelines and standards for investment performance across all of the model portfolios," says Kyle Fairall, Chief Investment Officer of GSAM.
