Private markets valuation under pressure

Transparency, frequency, and auditability in today’s market

Modernizing valuation for a changing private markets landscape

Broader investor access, new fund structures, and heightened scrutiny are raising expectations for how private market valuations are governed, documented, and delivered. As valuation cycles accelerate, firms need processes that can support greater transparency, consistency, and auditability, without adding operational friction.

KPMG professionals examine how private markets firms can modernize valuation to meet rising expectations while creating a stronger foundation for decision-making.

Market forces reshaping valuation

1

Broader investor access and semiliquid fund structures are increasing valuation volume and frequency

2

Greater regulatory, audit, and investor scrutiny is raising expectations for transparency and defensibility

3

Rising data demands and faster market signals are exposing the limits of manual, disconnected processes

Leading firms are responding by treating valuation as an enterprise capability, strengthening governance, centralizing data, and using technology to streamline execution. These changes can help deliver more timely, consistent, and defensible valuations while creating insights that support better investment decisions.
