Market turbulence, credit crisis, and pressure from governing bodies for additional regulation in the alternative investment sector are some important elements which we believe will put an increasing emphasis on the requirement to have a strong and reliable fair valuation process for private equity assets. Going forward, General Partners can expect investors, auditors and regulators to scrutinise their valuation estimation more closely.
Pricing and fair valuation of portfolio securities continue to be challenging for the management and boards of asset management firms, and for market data providers. To help asset managers address these challenges, PwC conducted a Web-based survey of more than 50 firms in four core sectors of the asset management industry: traditional/registered investment firms (traditional), alternative investment firms, private equity/venture capital firms, and real estate asset managers.
This paper explores a number of the oversight/governance questions that have been raised for asset managers, and it discusses leading practices to address them. We focus on questions that are of particular interest to asset managers of alternative funds, traditional mutual funds, and real estate investments.
