Preparing for FCA Scrutiny on Private Markets Valuation

Strengthening Valuation Frameworks Ahead of FCA Expectations

The FCA’s latest multi-firm review of private market valuation practices clearly priorities proportionate governance, independence, and real world execution to meet the standards by the regulator. With boards now accountable and thematic supervision ramping up, firms that haven’t revisited their valuation frameworks since March risk falling behind.

Firms should prove their policies work in practice, identify gaps before the regulator does, and prepare for scrutiny that goes beyond conflicts of interest.
