FUND ADMINISTRATION

Valuation support with traceable assumptions and evidence.

Collect approved pricing, portfolio data, methodologies, assumptions and exception evidence for a defensible valuation process connected to NAV, reporting and audit support.

Overview

Valuation support is the data and operating layer around formal valuation. It assembles market prices, portfolio-company information, loan/property data, model inputs, prior-period values, approved methodologies and evidence so authorised valuers, administrators or committees can make and document valuation decisions.

For liquid strategies it centres on pricing-source hierarchy, stale-price checks and complex instruments. For private assets it involves financial/operating data, comparable transactions, debt terms, models and valuation-committee evidence.

Operating priorities

Valuation risk frequently comes from incomplete data, inconsistent assumptions, unexplained period changes and weak evidence—not only from the valuation formula.

Common operating challenges

  • Missing or stale pricing information.
  • Inconsistent assumptions across entities or periods.
  • Manual evidence collection for committees and auditors.
  • Overrides without a clear approval trail.
  • Limited traceability from final value to underlying information.

  • Approved source hierarchy.
  • Stale/missing-price thresholds.
  • Independent review for material overrides.
  • Versioned assumptions and methodology.
  • Clear distinction between support and a formal independent valuation opinion.

Frequently asked questions

Is valuation support the same as an independent valuation?

No. We distinguish operational and evidence support from a formal independent valuation opinion.

Can it support private assets?

Yes—particularly data collection, model-input control, evidence and movement review.

How are overrides handled?

Through explicit exception ownership, rationale, specialist review and authorised approval history.
