The valuation of fund investments has long since evolved from the days of entry and exit prices. Accounting fair value requirements and other regulatory interventions, such as the EUs AIFMD, are recreating best practice around the periodic reporting on the value of fund investments.
For investments with a publicly quoted price, periodic valuation is relatively straightforward. However, for unquoted positions, with no price of recent investment, the challenges of periodic valuation are huge.
Our expert valuation advisors draw on BDO’s global presence to provide key insight into valuation trends in diverse markets to help fund managers navigate these challenges. We bring a wealth of experience across a range of asset classes including:
- Infrastructure (including renewables)
- Private Credit
- Private Equity
- Venture Capital
Working together with your in-house teams, we assess the key determinants of value in order to deliver you an independent opinion on the value of your fund investments. Our valuations are delivered in line with industry best practice, the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEV Valuation Guidelines) and your own valuation policies and procedures.
Whether your periodic valuation requirement is monthly, quarterly, biannual or annual, we employ our tried and tested procedures in order to deliver consistent, well-considered valuation marks that help you increase the transparency of your fund reporting.
