Valuation dynamics in private equity secondaries

With the increasing importance of private equity secondaries and a growth in volumes in the last few years, the secondary market has become more fragmented. Due to this, the question of valuing assets has become more important and in this article Dr. Christian Diller and Dr. Marco Wulff present an overview of the valuation of private equity fund interest, the underlying methods and relevant factors. Further, they specifically examine the valuation of large and small transactions, of top-down and bottom-up approaches and outline commonalities, differences as well as challenges.

The article is brought to you by Private Equity International, The Private Equity Secondaries Market (Second Edition) and is published in the March 2013 release of this book. This comprehensive publication, written by various renewed contributors of the private equity scene, precisely details every aspect of private equity secondary deals, as well providing critical advice on the changing legal and regulatory landscapes.
