Valuation

Valuation

Issuers of convertible and exchangeable bonds may need accounting valuation support, up-front (for bifurcation purposes) and/or on an ongoing basis for mark-to-market purposes. Some corporate users of derivatives may also need mark-to-market support for their accounts in cases where their counterparty is not a bank providing regular updates.

OUR VALUATION SERVICES

When we provide valuations for our equity-linked issuer clients, we approach these with a detailed understanding of the transaction documentation as well as trading of the instrument in the market. As a result, our valuations are both technically accurate and also reflect market levels for the instrument, rather than simply technical valuations based on unrelated market data.

Examples include:

  • convertible bonds requiring bifurcation and accretion of the bond element
  • convertible/exchangeable bonds requiring mark-to-market of the derivative liability component
