Upcoming Fabozzi “Handbook of Finance” (Wiley) Will Feature Chapter on Valuing Private Firms by Dr. Stan Feldman
Wakefield, MA, April 12, 2007 - “Valuing private firms has finally become part of mainstream finance,” according to Dr. Stan Feldman, Chairman of Axiom Valuation Solutions and Associate Professor of Finance at Bentley College. He has authored a chapter entitled “Valuing Private Firms” for inclusion in the upcoming Handbook of Finance (Wiley) edited by Frank J. Fabozzi, PhD, CFA. Dr. Fabozzi is Editor of the Journal of Portfolio Management and an Adjunct Professor of Finance at Yale University’s School of Management.
Dr. Stan Feldman states "that valuing private firms has been viewed by many finance professionals as a black box exercise.” The purpose of the chapter is to demonstrate that this is not the case, and many of the same principles that one would use to value public firms are applicable to private firms. Nevertheless there are important differences. Dr. Feldman notes: "One of the more important differences is the distinction between the value of a minority equity position and the value of a controlling interest. The chapter identifies a simple and straightforward way to value these interests without appealing to acquisition premium data that in most instances is unrelated to the fact and circumstances under which the private firm is being valued."
