Following the 2008 financial crisis, regulators across the globe have increased their focus on the alternative investment fund industry, an industry that was still relatively unregulated.
This has triggered the introduction of measures such as the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and other stringent obligations around valuation matters. In this context, the way professionals look at valuation issues has to be revisited. Past philosophies and processes have become obsolete and no longer comply with current requirements. In addition, the demand for additional disclosure and greater transparency in financial statements has created the need for consistent, well-documented, independent valuations.
Alternative investment fund managers and asset servicers have to adapt to this new environment and either dedicate internal resources or seek an external provider to assist with their valuation needs.
