A view across the family

Bring investments and holding entities together, with valuation dates and source records close to the numbers.

Attention where it matters

Compare management updates with the approved record. Review the change before it becomes a portfolio fact.

Context before commitment

Check new opportunities against the mandate, the current portfolio and the reasons behind earlier decisions.

Make the exposure
part of the conversation.

A compelling investment may add to a risk the family already holds. Inspect sector composition, individual holdings and mandate constraints before recording a decision.

Method, limitations and valuation governance

The adjustment is the median of included observed exit EV / original forecast EV. Current EV = annual revenue × selected revenue multiple × adjustment. Equity = max(0, EV − net debt). This small-sample heuristic does not control for holding period, growth, market conditions, geography or security rights. It is not an independently validated model, a statistical confidence interval or approved fair value. Similarity of sector alone does not establish comparability. Exclude incomparable observations; do not treat a larger sample as evidence of accuracy.

Historical outcomes are recorded separately from original forecasts. Exclusion changes the calculation without erasing the record. Professional valuation requires a documented technique, transaction calibration, current market context and accountable review. IPEV 2025 guidelines, sections 2.6–2.7.
