DCF Adoption within Europe

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) has been picking up traction as a valuation methodology in the UK and Europe.

Only a year ago, there were a handful of European fund managers using DCF. But fast track to today, there’s been a particularly noticeable trend in the Pan-European open-ended space, where investor demand for increased transparency on valuation movements has driven fund managers to mandate its adoption from 3rd party valuers. DCF is the main valuation standard in the US and now global investment players are also key influencers in EU DCF adoption.

DCF brings with it many opportunities, but also challenges for Europe. We sat down with Cushman & Wakefield and Invesco to discuss the pros and cons, and where we believe the industry is headed.

Hear from speakers as they discuss topics including:

  • Cushman & Wakefield, Invesco and Altus Group house views on DCF adoption in Europe

  • The opportunities and challenges of a discounted cash flow methodology

  • Adoption trends by country and asset class

  • The critical need for data consistency, transparency and benchmarking analytics

  • Where we think adoption of DCF will be in 24 months
