Strengthening Governance in a Changing Private Markets Landscape

Private markets are facing increased scrutiny, with regulators examining areas of market practice including continuation funds, and stakeholders are placing greater focus on transparency.

This presents an opportunity for industry leaders to strengthen governance proactively and help shape the future of the market through collaboration rather than regulation alone.

From dialogue to action

Earlier this year, the SBAI published new and amended valuation Standards, setting out a benchmark for good practice in valuation governance and addressing many of the issues now attracting increased regulatory attention.

In a recent article, the SBAI's Executive Director, Thomas Deinet, shares his perspective on the role of industry leadership in responding to this changing environment before external expectations define the path forward.
