Webinar Replay–Mitigating Valuation Uncertainty

The illiquid nature of private credit markets, exacerbated by both the limited information available for some investments and the operational complexity of conducting accurate valuations, can result in diverse perspectives on an investment’s value at any given point in time.

Watch replay now, where experts discussed the sources of valuation uncertainty, how this relates to pricing uncertainty in liquid markets, and what can be done technically and operationally to mitigate the risk of valuation uncertainty. They will focus on how best practices, as encapsulated in the guidance for estimating fair value under ASC 820 and IFRS 13 and augmented for private credit under the IPEV and IVSC guidelines, can reduce uncertainty and increase transparency for investors.
