Notes:
Purpose - To describe the application of fair value methodologies to fund operations and emphasize the importance of appropriate valuation procedures. Design/methodology/approach - Discusses the need for appropriate valuation methodologies, describes a recent survey that shows how fair valuation policies and procedures have evolved over time, recommends procedures for adoption of consistent valuation procedures and industry practices, explains recent fund management trends such as the creation of separate valuation committees and the use of third-party pricing vendors, and warns that valuation is becoming a more frequent subject of SEC examinations. Findings - Concludes that investment companies, private investment companies, boards, and managements are re-evaluating and updating their valuation policies and procedures, partly in response to increased focus on valuations by the SEC in its examinations. Originality/value - Provides the results of a useful survey on fair value methodologies and important considerations for fund managers and directors as they review and update their valuation methodologies and procedures.
