All businesses, regardless of size, type, and industry, must grow to survive and thrive. Beyond tried and true tactics – sell more, sell to more, and sell for more – strategic decisions are required to drive disruptive, next-level business growth. Often, that also requires specialized, dedicated levels of valuation advisory expertise from a qualified, independent firm that can help your organization support its deal-making decisions, mitigate risk, withstand scrutiny and improve shareholder transparency.

 

 

  • Alternative Assets/Complex Securities

    Complex securities are typically rich in economic features and closely linked to an equity, debt, or hybrid instrument. Many include features that alter cash flows over the life of the security, such as options, return multiples or thresholds, and/or specific IRR and price-performance targets. Securities with these characteristics are often created as part of incentive compensation, corporate transactions, capital raises, or external financing activities.

    We assist a wide range of clients with complex-securities valuations, including public and private corporations, asset managers, private equity funds, hedge funds, endowments, public and private pension plans, fund administrators and business development companies. Engagements often arise from needs relating to:

    • Early- or development-stage companies
    • Share-based payments including equity compensation awards
    • Derivatives and hedging instruments
    • Nonqualified deferred compensation plans and related tax scenarios
    • Other hard-to-value financial instruments and arrangements such as earnouts
  • Biological Assets

    Firms involved in the production of biological assets (e.g., animals, live plants) are required to measure the assets at fair value less selling expenses at the end of each accrual period. The fair value calculation of a biological asset is complex and detailed, requiring a partner with extensive experience in biological asset valuation engagements.
