Description

With an accelerated shift to fair value accounting and an ever-changing regulatory landscape, alternative asset investors and managers need objective valuation advice. Independent valuations and regular reviews of valuation policies and procedures provide comfort to fund management, investors and fund administrators as well as auditors. Duff & Phelps assists clients with the valuation of the widest variety of alternative investments, specifically securities and positions for which there are no "active market" quotations.

Estimating the cost of capital is critical when assessing the long-run expected return on investments. From valuing individual securities or capital projects to evaluating mergers or acquisitions, estimating the cost of capital is one of the most important decisions that corporate finance professionals make. The limitations of the methods commonly used to estimate the cost of capital have been magnified in the wake of the economic turbulence of the last Financial Crisis. New challenges have arisen in estimating the cost of capital that all corporate finance professionals need to be aware of.
