Portfolio Valuation for PE, VC and AIF Funds — IPEV-aligned, LP-ready, audit-defensible

Private capital funds in India increasingly require independent third-party portfolio valuations — driven by LP expectations, Category II / III AIF regulatory disclosures, auditor preferences on fair-value measurement, and the need to defend carried-interest computations. Transique provides half yearly and annual portfolio-valuation engagements aligned with the IPEV (International Private Equity and Venture Capital) Valuation Guidelines, Ind AS 113 fair-value principles, and SEBI AIF Regulations.

Our model is designed for fund operating efficiency: a stable methodology framework, documented input governance, and a consistent report architecture LPs can read across periods.

Frequently asked questions

Are half yearly independent valuations mandatory for AIFs?

SEBI AIF Regulations and subsequent SEBI circulars on Category II and Category III AIFs prescribe independent valuation expectations; detailed requirements vary by category and fund structure. Many LPs contractually require independent valuations regardless of regulation. We scope to the applicable framework.

How do you handle early-stage assets with no comparables?

Price-of-Recent-Investment (calibrated for time and material changes) is typical for the first 12 months, with a structured move to other methods (DCF, industry-benchmarks) as the asset matures or as information emerges. The methodology framework anticipates and documents the transition triggers.

What is the typical quarterly engagement timeline?

Two to three weeks to final report delivery, for a portfolio of 3-5 assets. Large portfolios are staggered over four to six weeks with a consolidated portfolio-level report at the end.

Can you produce LP-specific reporting cuts?

Yes. LP-customised cuts (by fund-of-funds mandate, by investor class, or by currency) can be prepared as part of the periodical pack.
