Independent Valuation of Complex Financial Instruments and Structured Securities

Independent Valuation of Complex Financial Instruments and Structured Securities

Complex securities often contain multiple contractual features such as conversion rights, redemption options, preferential rights, embedded derivatives, or performance-linked payoffs, making their valuation more sophisticated than plain equity or debt instruments. We provide independent valuation services for complex securities using appropriate financial models and valuation techniques, supporting Ind AS 109, Ind AS 113, Ind AS 32, SEBI, FEMA, and other applicable regulatory and financial reporting requirements.

What is Complex Securities Valuation?

Complex Securities Valuation involves determining the fair value of financial instruments whose returns, pricing, or contractual terms depend on multiple variables, embedded options, or future events. The valuation considers the instrument's contractual terms, underlying asset, expected cash flows, market conditions, volatility, credit risk, and other relevant factors to arrive at an appropriate fair value.

Values debt and other cash-flow-based instruments by discounting expected future cash flows using an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate.
