Complex Securities Valuation

Guarantee and Other Contingent Payout Valuation

Companies may have contingent payouts, or liabilities, for many reasons. For example, a company might have made third-party guarantees or owe milestone payments to investors. These liabilities or assets may need to be valued based on the range of potential outcomes. As a result, contingent payout valuation can be a very complex exercise; it requires understanding what payments arise in what circumstances, and what the values of these payments are.
