Pricing and valuation
47 products carry this category. Categories are tags, so several of these also appear elsewhere.
What is meant by Pricing and valuation?
Determination of a value for an instrument, particularly where no reliable traded price exists: model-based valuation, evaluated pricing for thinly traded bonds, and independent price verification of what the front office believes something is worth.
Who uses Pricing and valuation?
Valuation and risk teams; auditors read the output.
What gets confused with Pricing and valuation?
Market data, which supplies observed prices. Valuation produces a price where the market did not.
What should you ask a vendor about Pricing and valuation?
Ask for the methodology documentation and how challenges to a price are handled. An auditor will.
