Profile
ISFA AG, was formed in 2003.
The company was formed in the wake of the stock market scandals at the turn of the millennium. In response we set out to give the market a measuring instrument that would systematically and reliably measure the quality of analysts' work.
ISFA Performance measurement for analysts is based on two foundations:
- the ISFA Standard (standard method of calculation)
- the ISFA System (calculation kernel)
ISFA measures recommendations on both the buy and the sell side. ISFA counts many banks in Switzerland and in other countries amongst its clients
The development of the ISFA performance measurement tool was initiated by Dr. Jean-Claude Dufournet, ISFA's President. He was supported by academics and specialists with knowledge and skills in the field of mathematics, business management and computer science.
In the meantime ISFA has not only further developed the ISFA standard but offers additional services in portfolio attribution and optimisation.
