Alternative Investment Porfolio Valuation

DerivActiv specializes in assisting clients in the valuation of securities and investments for which there are no active market quotations available, also known as Alternative Investments. We assist our clients with the valuation of entire portfolios or single investments. The process of determining fair market value of alternative Investments is not complete until it has been verified by publicly traded assets. See the diagram below on how the fiduciary oversight process is completed.

Topic 820 (FAS 157) - Alternative Investments

With the trend of fair value accounting clearly underway as reflected by the adoption by FASB of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), previously know as FAS 157, the "old" procedures for determining the fair value of Alternative Investments are often not sufficient to satisfy the new fair value standards or the expectations of the reporting entity's auditors, board members and other constituents. Without the proper tools, determining fair value can be challenging as the securities produced by asset managers are becoming very complex. DerivActiv can help your organization value alternative investments to comply with Topic 820 requirements. We have a portfolio replication process that can replicate both the returns and fair value of hard to value investments.
