FTS Valuation Services team works with clients in the alternative investment industry, including LPs, GPs, and portfolio companies.
We provide valuations needed for fair value reporting, transactions and dispute support. CFOs, Controllers, CEOs, Boards of Directors and investment professionals turn to us to help them not only comply with the latest fair value reporting requirements, but go well beyond that; to truly understand the strategic value of managing this process in a proactive manner.
Our services include:
· Portfolio Valuation
- Most PE funds have a periodic third party valuation, FTS offers a full market leading deliverable that will stand Auditor, SEC and investor scrutiny.
· GP and LP Equity Stakes Valuation
- Many GP and LP equity stakes holders get valuations early in their funds’ lives in order to donate these stakes to a trust – FTS provides these IRS-ready valuations.
· Valuation Policy and Procedures
- New funds or funds that need to modernize before their next fund raise use FTS to update their formal valuation policies and procedures.
Several SPACs have recently tapped FTS to provide valuations of their warrants as new SEC pronouncements have recategorized them and have brought on financial restatements. Call us if you would like to discuss your past or prospective SPAC investments.
