Apart from real estate matters and financial holdings, which may justify the use of different asset methods, the main of our valuation work is based on the method of comparable and discounted cash flows.

What are the main parameters of valuing a management package? 

First and foremost: volatility. The rate chosen is subject of an adjustment to the actual level of debt of the company studied. Secondly, and to a lesser extent, the potential horizons of exit can have an impact on the valuation obtained.

What tools do you have to establish your comparable?
