私募基金也要算在GIPS里面吗

问题如下：

G&F Advisors claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) in its marketing materials. The compliant presentation includes a footnote which indicates that the firm has been verified by an independent third party. An additional note states that G&F is in compliance with the GIPS standards except for its private equity investments. Is it likely that G&F violated the GIPS standards?

选项：

A.No, because the footnotes meet the requirements of the Standards. B.No, because the provisions do not apply to the private equity investments. C.Yes, because they cannot claim compliance unless all requirements of the Standard are met.

解释：

Firms must meet all the requirements set forth in the GIPS standards and cannot claim partial compliance.
