The valuation of fund investments has long since evolved from the days of entry and exit prices. For investments with a publicly quoted price, periodic valuation is relatively straightforward. However, for unquoted positions, such as private-equity held assets or venture capital investment in high-growth/yet to be profitable ventures with no price of recent investment, the challenges of periodic valuation are significant.

Our expert valuation advisers 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:

Private equity
Venture capital
Infrastructure and utilities assets.

Working together with your in-house teams, we assess the key determinants of value 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 to deliver consistent, well-considered valuation marks that help you increase the transparency of your fund reporting.
