Supported by reliable and globally comparable performance data, Nigerian mutual funds will attract global investment, positioning mutual funds as the country’s default destination for discretionary savings.
Especially in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, regulators around the world have applied much more stringent compliance standards to the global mutual fund industry. To remain active in global capital markets mutual funds, asset managers and advisors have been forced to keep up with global best practice. This always means adopting GIPS.

Fund managers using the amortised accounting method will report steadily increasing values to the fund’s unit holders. Fund managers following the mark-to-market valuation method will report fluctuating values to the funds’ unit holders, though the cash flows provided by the underlying securities are no different.
