Valuation toolkit

Method follows purpose, evidence and risk

No single method fits every company or instrument. We select and reconcile approaches based on the business model, available information, capital structure, transaction context and governing requirement.

  • Discounted cash flow (DCF)
  • Comparable companies and transactions
  • Net asset and adjusted book value
  • Option-pricing models
  • Actuarial and scenario models
  • Sensitivity and risk analysis

Specialist profile

Financial valuation informed by actuarial and accounting depth

Complex decisions often cross accounting, valuation, risk and actuarial boundaries. This integrated perspective helps identify the assumptions that genuinely drive value and communicate them clearly.
