Analyzing Private Companies: Tackling the Challenges

Synopsis:

Privately held companies pose a unique set of challenges for investment professionals and corporate risk managers. Many are reluctant to share financial information and the quality of information they provide can vary.

The speaker will discuss these challenges and offer solutions to facilitate the analysis of private companies as key parts of counterparty portfolios.
