Valuation & Pricing

Combining technical and quantitative expertise

Valuation and risk management are really two sides of the same coin as both disciplines require similar skills to be accurate and effective. When pricing individual securities across Africa, investors must account for such issues as asset liquidity risk, funding liquidity risk, local currency risk, and political event risk, among other items. Among the services performed are:

• Define and maintain pricing policy
• Select and source relevant market data and third-party pricing agents
• Operate the valuation models used to support third-party pricing of OTC transactions
• Lead the month-end finalisation process
• Chair and operate the pricing committee for finalised NAVs

In order to properly mitigate exposure in adverse market conditions, an investor must properly value the enterprise so as to accurately estimate its overall risk.
