Private Equity / Hedge Fund Managers

We provide valuations of financial and industrial assets for the asset management community to assist them with financial reporting, tax, insurance, risk management and investment appraisal purposes. We provide unquoted company valuations and real estate valuations for asset management and private equity companies who wish to improve their current processes, out-source their valuation function and provide a value-added service to their clients. We summarise below our services in each area.

We provide valuations of majority and minority shareholdings in unquoted companies held by fund management companies and private equity funds who are looking to outsource their valuation functions. The historical track record of these funds are vital in attracting new business. Valuations of these funds are therefore vital to performance and unquoted company valuation can have a significant effect on this. Consequently, some managers seek independent valuations of these investment rather than risk valuing them themselves. We perform valuations of entire portfolios on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis together with one of valuations of shareholdings.

Problems with the completeness and accuracy of property accounting records can have adverse financial reporting implications and may lead to qualified audit opinions, management letter comments and even adverse opinions from external auditors.
