New guide, published in partnership with Private Equity International, provides essential resources in a time of increased industry scrutiny
Duff & Phelps Corporation, the premier global valuation and corporate finance advisor, today announced the release of Private Equity Valuation-The Definitive Guide to Valuing Investments Fairly, published in partnership with Private Equity International (PEI). Written and edited by valuation experts at Duff & Phelps, this guide provides investors and fund managers with essential tools and best practices for valuing their investments.
“Recent surveys have shown that private equity investors are optimistic about both future returns and fundraising,” said David Larsen, Duff & Phelps Managing Director and lead editor of the new guide. “Yet, the backstory is more nuanced-particularly with respect to continued regulatory developments and the shifting expectations of limited partners (LPs) surrounding fund reporting and transparency. Within this environment, we are pleased to provide investment professionals, GPs/LPs and valuation practitioners with a comprehensive, definitive resource on valuing alternative investments.”
Current market dynamics, including increased SEC scrutiny in the United States, the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) in Europe, and increased focus on valuation transparency by Limited Partners and other stakeholders make this book an indispensable resource.
Key features of the guide include:
Private Equity Valuation-The Definitive Guide to Valuing Investments Fairly is now available for purchase through Private Equity International. In addition, on September 16 at noon EDT (17:00 BST and 18:00 CET) Duff & Phelps will host a webcast highlighting some of the most challenging aspects of alternative investment valuation as featured in the new book.
