A new issue of the Financial Reporting Valuation Flash has been released and is available in the Insights section of this website.
This issue contains the article “Portfolio Valuation Can Be Complex, Risky.” Quoting from the article:
Valuation of PE portfolio investments for financial reporting can be challenging for many reasons. PE investments are, by nature, illiquid. Portfolio companies are not publicly traded, and holding periods are generally long. PE investments often employ complex capital structures that include several tranches of equity, debt or hybrid securities with differing rights to intermediate and exit proceeds. In addition, derivative instruments are also popularly used in incenting management teams.
Mercer Capital has years of experience in providing third-party valuation opinions on illiquid investments to PE clients’ and other stakeholders’ satisfaction. Our recent presentation, “Best Practices for Fair Value Measurement,” throws some light upon a number of valuation issues specific to PE portfolios.
