Portfolio Investment Valuations

With ever-increasing complexity surrounding FAS 157 and difficult credit and stock markets, the determination of fair value is now more complicated than ever. As a result, more financial institutions are turning to the valuation services of Lincoln International to help them gauge the fair value of their investments.

Lincoln International provides portfolio valuation services for a variety of financial institutions including hedge funds, business development companies ("BDC"s), collateralized loan obligations ("CLO"s), private equity firms and insurance companies. We work with the company and its Board of Directors, Audit / Special Committees and fund administrators.  Our detailed portfolio analysis includes:
