AIMR Working On Analyst Guidelines

July 13, 2001 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - The Association for Investment Management Research (AIMR) says it will issue "Research Objectivity Standards" in three months, offering a best practices guideline for stock analysts

Its plan follows a set of analyst “best practices” guidelines issued last month by the Securities Industry Association. However, AIMR’s guidelines are more focused on portfolio managers.

AIMR has formed a task force of more than a dozen investment pros to work on the standards.
