2024 IAC BV - Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Report: 2024 Findings and Effective Use

Session Description

The Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Report offers an alternative to the build-up method for determining cost of capital for a private firm. A firm's cost of capital is based on the opportunity cost faced by the investors. Thus, cost of capital must be equal to the expected returns of the investor over time and on an aggregate basis. Rather than inferring investor expectations, the annual Private Capital Markets survey asks investors what their expected returns are. This provides a valuable reality check against the build-up method for valuation professionals.
