Institutional investors (fund of funds, sovereigns, public and private pension funds, endowments, family offices, insurance companies, etc.) have the fiduciary duty to report independent and credible fair value information to their stakeholders. Government actions taken in response to the rapidly changing global health situation due to COVID-19, combined with public market volatility and the potential for a global recession make the judgments reached with respect to fair value at March 31, 2020 very difficult. Many institutional investors rely on reported Net Asset Value (NAV) from an earlier time period as a starting point to estimate the fair value of a fund interest at the current measurement date. Virtually every institutional investor is faced with a critical conundrum: how do they estimate March 31, 2020 fair if their starting point is September 30, or December 31, 2019 reported NAV?
