Asset classes & fund types

Where our work lives.

Buyout funds

Lower- and middle-market control buyout. LBO equity, dividend recap event marks, exit-prep refreshes. We work alongside the fund’s senior credit and equity sleeves where the structure has both.

Typical methods: market multiples · DCF · OPM allocation · transaction calibration

Growth equity

Minority preferred positions in venture-backed and PE-backed growth-stage companies. Ratchet, anti-dilution, and conversion-toggle structures modeled per the round-by-round preferred stack.

Typical methods: OPM · PWERM hybrid · backsolve · public-comparable triangulation

Private credit

Direct lending, second-lien, unitranche, and mezzanine across senior and subordinated tranches. Yield-spread reconciliation against publicly traded leveraged loan indices for benchmarking.

Typical methods: yield analysis · DCF · LSTA-comp triangulation · covenant-event scenarios

GP-led secondaries

Continuation funds, single-asset secondaries, strip transactions, tender-offer secondaries. Independent fairness perspective for the LP advisory committee. Scenario modeling and sensitivity testing.

Typical methods: independent NAV reference · multiple-scenario DCF · LP-friendly stress testing

Independent sponsors

Deal-by-deal valuations for fundless sponsors. Pre-close 805 PPAs at hold formation, ongoing portfolio marks, fund-roll-up valuations when an independent sponsor formalizes a fund vehicle.

Typical methods: ASC 805 PPA · ASC 820 ongoing · 409A on portcos

Family office allocations

Direct PE positions, fund-of-funds reporting overlays, co-invest sleeves. NAV-level reporting for trust and gift-tax compliance, where third-party valuation independence matters most.

Typical methods: ASC 820 · gift/estate-grade business valuation · USPAP-compliant deliverables
