Portfolio Valuation
Portfolio valuation is the systematic process of determining the current market value of all assets held within an investment fund. This process is essential for calculating the Net Asset Value and ensuring that investors have a clear picture of their holdings.
In crypto-native funds, valuation must account for price feeds from multiple exchanges, decentralized finance protocol tokens, and potentially illiquid venture-style investments. Discrepancies in valuation methodologies can lead to significant gaps between the reported Net Asset Value and the actual realizable value.
Accurate valuation requires robust data pipelines and clear policies on how to handle assets during periods of extreme volatility or network halts. It is the bedrock of transparent reporting and regulatory compliance for any derivative or fund structure.
