Summary
Private equity valuations are facing increased attention as market uncertainty, longer holding periods, and divergent exit conditions challenge traditional assumptions. Building on our valuation webinar series, this session covers both direct and indirect (fund) private equity investments. We’ll examine key judgment areas and emerging best practices for direct investments and discuss how institutional investors can assess manager provided marks and apply additional checks and balances to strengthen oversight, transparency, and confidence in reported valuations.
Agenda:
- Emerging market trends
- Auditors, regulatory and governance focus
- Transparency in valuation for direct equity investments
- Strengthening valuation governance for fund equity investments
