Hedge Funds

Hedge_Fund_Bldg

Hedge funds utilize dozens of advanced investment strategies to maximize returns for investors.  Many hedge fund portfolios are comprised of complex financial instruments that are hard to value because they lack transparency and tend to be illiquid.  The high level of sophistication inherent in hedge funds and hedge fund portfolios makes determining fair value under ASC 820 quite challenging.

 

DerivActiv provides valuations to hedge funds that can satisfy ASC 820 fair value measurements and Topic 815 hedge accounting requirements. Our proprietary valuation system provides clients with a variety of services related to hedge accounting, mid-market valuations, fair value measurements, curve shocks, loan valuations under Topic 820-10-35, and other valuation services.

 

DerivActiv can provide daily mid-market values as well as monthly or quarterly ASC 820 adjusted values. Call us at (866) 200-9012 or click here to request more information.

Fair Value Reporting and Hedge Accounting for Hedge Funds

The recent push for increased transparency in financial reporting requires that hedge fund investments be valued under ASC 820 (FAS 157) accounting rules.  DerivActiv uses clear, understandable methods for measuring fair value.  We can provide an independent, third-party valuation to hedge funds or their auditors if they need such information for financial statements. We can help hedge fund clients meet relevant accounting regulations such as:

  • ASC 815/FAS 133
  • IAS 39
  • ASC 820/FAS 157
  • IFRS 7
  • ASC 815-10-50/FAS 161
 

 

DerivActiv’s team of experts can help ensure that hedge funds meet ASC 820 fair value measurements and ASC 815 hedge accounting requirements.  Call 866-200-9012 for more information.
