Illiquid Asset Valuation

Credit & Valuation

Several valuation methodologies run in parallel, with the disagreement between them as part of the output.

Methods in parallel

  • Discounted cash flow, comparable multiples and net asset value
  • Stochastic simulation for path-dependent assets
  • Machine learning techniques handling the sparse inputs these assets come with

Comparison as output

  • Where methods disagree, the dashboard shows by how much
  • The assumptions driving the gap are identified
  • Usually the most useful output of the exercise

Sensitivity and reporting

  • Valuation presented as a range with identified drivers
  • Precision matched to what the inputs support
  • Reporting structured for audit and investment committee review
