Jeff Diehl, Managing Partner of Adams Street, penned a special report in Financier Worldwide, providing a timely perspective on the link between public and private market valuations. Three notable observations: (1) private fund holdings skew towards high-growth companies with potential for multiple expansion, making the sample set not directly comparable to general public market indices; (2) private funds can use multiple approaches to valuation and may attach less weight to public comps when markets dislocate; and (3) private market supply-and-demand dynamics may drive divergences in valuation relative to public markets. All three points illustrate why NAV loan collateral valuations may be less volatile than broader public market indicators.
