Financial Instruments and Liabilities Valuation

Valtech Valuation provides independent valuation services for financial instruments, actuarial liabilities, and structured portfolios.

Whether you are seeking valuation for recognition, measurement, derecognition, or hedge accounting, our highly credentialed team of CPAs, CFAs, and quantitative analysts bridges the gap between sophisticated financial modeling and stringent auditor expectations.

Financial instruments can be real or virtual documents representing a legal agreement involving any kind of monetary value. Equity-based financial instruments represent ownership of an asset. Debt-based financial instruments represent a loan made by an investor to the owner of the asset. Our services cover the following instruments:

Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 9

Financial Instruments

IFRS 2

Share-based Payment

We offer specialized, data-driven valuation models designed to withstand rigorous regulatory and auditor scrutiny across four core pillars:

Actuarial Valuation and Employee Benefits

  • Project Benefit Obligation (PBO).

  • Valuation of a wide range of assets, including traditional financial assets, crypto contracts, and pre-IPO investments.

  • Expertise in assessing private bonds characterized by limited trading activity, conversion features, tranches, collateral, or guarantees.

Convertible Bonds Valuation

A convertible bond is a type of debt security that can be converted into a predetermined amount of the underlying company’s equity at certain times during the bond’s life, usually at the discretion of the bondholder. Convertible bonds are a flexible financing option for companies and are particularly useful for companies with high risk/reward profiles.

  • Stock Price
  • Stock Dividend
  • Convertible Market Price
  • Maturity (Years)
  • Conversion Price
  • Conversion Ratio = Convertible Market Price / Conversion Price
  • Stock Dividend Yield = Stock Dividend / Stock Price
  • Conversion Value = Stock Price / Conversion Ratio

Employee Stock Options (“ESO”)

ESO is usually priced by using a lattice-based model, which takes into account expected changes in various parameters over an option’s life, thereby producing a more accurate estimate of option prices than created by models that consider only one point in time. If it also common for companies planning for IPO to issue stock options to motivate their contributors. We also pay special attention to the major variables:

  • strike price (K)
  • Spot price (S)
  • Time in year (days/365) (T)
  • Dividend per share (D)
  • Volatility in %
  • risk-free interest rate in %
  • Time to Dividend Payment
  • Number of steps
  • Suboptimal conditions or exercise behavior
