SOMERSET, NJ, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Spaulding Group, Inc., dba TSG, today announced that its client, the Social Protection Fund (SPF) of Oman, has successfully completed its first verification under the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) for Asset Owners.
This milestone reflects SPF’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and the adoption of globally recognized best practices in investment performance reporting. By claiming compliance with the GIPS Standards, SPF demonstrates its dedication to strong governance, ethical reporting, and continuous improvement in the oversight of its investment program.
The implementation was supported by State Street, which worked closely with SPF throughout the compliance process. Leveraging the Asset Owner Path to GIPS Compliance, TSG provided technical guidance on the GIPS Standards, and independently verified SPF’s claim of compliance, preserving the independence required by the GIPS Standards.
“We congratulate SPF on achieving compliance with the GIPS Standards for Asset Owners and successfully completing its first independent verification,” said Chris Spaulding, Managing Director and Chief Growth Officer of TSG. “We are honored to serve as their GIPS standards verifier.”
Developed and maintained by CFA Institute, the GIPS standards are the globally recognized ethical standards for calculating and presenting investment performance. They promote fair representation, full disclosure, consistency, and comparability, and help organizations demonstrate their commitment to transparency, integrity, and sound investment governance.
“Our compliance with the GIPS Standards underscores the Investment Unit’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and global best practices in investment performance reporting,” said Mr. Hamad Mohammed Al Wahaibi, Head of Investment Unit, Social Protection Fund. “This milestone strengthens the confidence of our stakeholders and reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence in governance and investment management.”
By claiming compliance, SPF joins a distinguished group of leading asset owners worldwide that have voluntarily adopted the industry’s highest standards for investment performance reporting.
