• All ancillary reading materials suggested by our presenters
  

Why you should attend:

"Credit Crunches," "Toxic Debt," and now "Stress Tests." Problems in capital markets in the current economy should by now be well known. While traditional valuation theory assumes liquidity, recent events in capital markets have demonstrated that DCF values based on public market transactions may be significantly overstated when the impact of liquidity is ignored. And while Blockage - the incremental cost of liquidating a large position in a publicly traded company - is generally acknowledged, we need to be able to quantify its impact on the realizable value of the assets being valued.

In "Liquidity Crisis and Valuation Practices - Estimating the Cost of Liquidity" at the 11th Annual FAE/BVR Business Valuation Conference, Dr. Ashok Abbott will use capital markets data from this turbulent period to illustrate option method techniques that can be used to develop theoretically valid and empirically defensible discounts for lack of liquidity.

On May 21, BVR will replay Dr. Abbott's presentation in a special teleconference, "Liquidity Crises & the Impact on Valuation Practices". Following "Liquidity Crisis and Valuation Practices," Dr. Abbott will join us for live audience Q&A. Given Dr. Abbott's expertise, the current state of credit markets, and the necessity of this consideration in the business valuation process, this teleconference is not to be missed.

Agenda:

• "Liquidity Crisis and Valuation Practices - Estimating the Cost of Liquidity"
  • Dynamics of current capital markets and their effect on liquidity
  • Developing DCF values in the current environment - overstatement when lack of liquidity is ignored
  • Quantifying the impact of blockage on the realizable the value of assets
  • Option method techniques that can develop discounts for lack of liquidity
• Live Q&A with Dr. Ashok Abbott

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how tight credit markets lead to distortions in valuation methods
• Learn how to properly account for a lack of liquidity
• Quantify the effect of blockage on a target asset
• Use market data to your advantage by developing theoretically valid and empirically defensible discounts for lack of liquidity
