With private markets booming and open-ended “evergreen” funds gaining momentum, rigorous and transparent valuation has never been more critical. Regulators and investors alike are scrutinizing how valuation shape decisions, liquidity, and reporting in alternatives.
Against this backdrop, and as the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines introduce their 2025 Update, PwC Luxembourg is delighted to host the Private Markets Valuation Conference on the morning of 20 January 2026.
Join us to unpack the practical implications of the IPEV 2025 Update and explore the evolving performance, risk, and valuation practices for evergreen funds with leading practitioners and standard setters.
