How Finalyse can help
INDEPENDENT VALUATION OF PRIVATE EQUITY AND DEBT
Valuation is the cornerstone of the private equity Industry as it impacts the main actors of this market: LPs, GPs and supervising authorities. A fair valuation can be challenging to justify when the valuation is provided by a party that is also interested in the performance of the investment (e.g., GPs).
Getting a fair valuation of your private equity or private debt instruments can be costly and time-consuming. The onboarding of an external party can bring an independent aspect to your valuation and provide confidence while avoiding conflicts of interests issues.Each Private Investment case is different and we endeavour to fit to each specific situation in order to provide bespoke solutions.
