Objectifs

Private debt has grown significantly over the past few years: companies contemplate debt as an alternative way to raise money from traditional equity and continue to shift away from traditional bank-backed financing. At the same time, in institutional investors portfolios, the private debt asset class continues to act as a strong diversifier and a source of return - in a low interest rate environment - with the corresponding overall lower risk profile compared to other alternative products, such as private equity or venture capital.

Private debt actors have explored and deployed various strategies, taking advantage of the current market environment and opportunities, and made use of a wide range of debt instruments with simplistic to extremely complex features. This diversity of instruments and corresponding features implies extra and specific diligence when conducting a fair valuation assessment of debt instruments.

PwC's Academy is pleased to offer this course designed to help participants navigate through the challenges associated with fair valuation in this asset class.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to obtain comprehensive knowledge on:

  • valuation concepts specific to debt instruments;
  • recognised valuation methodologies;
  • how to apply these methodologies in the context of fair valuation assessment.

Contenu

  • Key terms and features of debt instruments
  • Conceptual framework to perform the valuation assessment of debt instruments
  • Recoverability analysis
  • Discounted cash flows analysis
  • Calibration analysis
  • Key drivers of debt instruments valuation
  • Most common optionality features of debt instruments (callability, puttability and conversion)
  • A case study allowing participants to apply the concepts covered in the training

Certificat, diplôme

An attendance certificate will be sent to participants.
