The valuation of fund investments has long since evolved from the days of entry and exit prices. For investments with a publicly quoted price, periodic valuation is relatively straightforward.
However, for unquoted positions, such as private-equity held assets or venture capital investment in high-growth/yet to be profitable ventures with no price of recent investment, the challenges of periodic valuation are significant.
