Our services

Valuation across businesses, securities and financial instruments.

Every valuation assignment has its own purpose, complexities and considerations, deserving an approach tailored to its requirements.

At RootValue, we work across businesses, securities, complex derivatives, structured financial instruments and investment portfolios. We bring together financial expertise, market understanding and specialised valuation methodologies to address diverse requirements spanning regulatory compliance, financial reporting, corporate transactions and investment activities.

Derivatives and other financial instruments

Valuation of derivatives, structured products and complex financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and other customised financial contracts. Our approach incorporates specialised techniques such as yield-curve construction, bootstrapping, forward rate estimation, cash-flow modelling and market-based discounting, supported by institutional-grade market data and financial terminals.

Investment, portfolio and AIF valuation

Independent valuation of investment portfolios comprising listed and unlisted securities, equity and debt instruments, structured instruments and other financial assets held by Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and other investment entities. We support AIFs in meeting applicable valuation policy and periodic reporting requirements, with a focus on consistency, transparency and well-substantiated valuation conclusions.

  • Fundraising
  • Investments
  • M&A
  • Shareholder transactions
