Deloitte Survey: Private Markets Push Valuation Practices Forward

Deloitte’s 24th Fair Valuation Pricing Survey finds that private-market growth, daily pricing, regulatory scrutiny, and artificial intelligence are reshaping valuation operating models

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Private-market investing continues to expand, creating new demands for valuation expertise, governance, technology, and key valuation indicators (KVIs) and oversight, according to the 24th edition of “Deloitte’s Fair Valuation Pricing Survey: At the Edge of What’s Next: Managing Complexity.” 

The report explores emerging, maturing and industry trends as fund groups are adapting their governance and valuation operating models amid increasing complexity, including the challenges that come with growth in private markets, heightened regulatory attention, and rapid technological change.

“Private-market investing is entering a more complex phase as fund groups respond to investor demand, evolving products, and increasing regulatory attention,” said Paul Kraft, Investment Management Marketplace Excellence Leader and Lead Partner at Deloitte & Touche LLP. “The survey highlights the importance of pairing innovation — including daily pricing and artificial intelligence —with disciplined governance, independent challenge, and human-led oversight.”

Key findings include:

Private-market exposure continues to grow: Investing in private equity increased to 51%, while private credit stood at 33%. Of those that currently hold private equity positions among their fund group, 46% reported an increase in the volume of private equity positions over the past 12 months, up significantly from 26% in 2025, while 66% increased their private credit positions over the last year.Private credit valuations are becoming more frequent: 69% of fund groups surveyed receive a spot price or a range of prices for private credit from a third-party provider, up from 66% in 2025. Meanwhile, 48% refresh fair valuations daily based on observable market inputs, but just 4% perform a full valuation update daily that revisits unobservable inputs, cash flow assumptions and methodology. The largest share of fund groups (39%) perform that full-judgment update quarterly.AI is moving into valuation processes: 77% of participants reported beginning to use or increasing their use of artificial intelligence during the past year. Reported applications include supporting research and documentation, preparing valuation memoranda, enhancing quality review, and assisting with reporting. Among AI users, 40% are applying AI to fair valuation, along with other applications including financial reporting/investor communications (33%) and fund accounting operations (31%).Regulatory scrutiny of valuation is increasing: Among respondents that reported an SEC examination in the last year, 53% identified valuation policies and procedures as an area of focus, down from 58% in 2025 but above the 39% and 40% reported in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Nearly one-third also reported significant inquiries into internal valuation methodologies and/or the frequency of valuations for private equity, private credit and restructured equities.

Deloitte’s Fair Valuation Survey has made it clear that complexity is here to stay. The convergence of private market hard to value fund holdings, including the launch of alternative funds, implementation of AI use cases, and the regulatory focus on both of these maturing trends will mean fund groups need to plan ahead to manage this complexity and the risks that may arise.

About the FV Survey 
Deloitte conducted the Fair Valuation Pricing Survey in summer 2026, and it was completed by participants representing 95 registered investment company fund groups of varying sizes. Fair Valuation Survey participants included small, midsize, and large fund groups. Thirty-eight percent have more than 100 funds within the fund group, and 20% have fewer than 15 funds. Participants reported the following assets under management (AUM): greater than $500 billion (20%); $101 billion to $500 billion (29%); $51 billion to $100 billion (14%); $10 billion to $50 billion (23%); Less than $10 billion (14%). Approximately 10% primarily manage equities, 3% primarily manage fixed-income securities, and the remaining 87% manage a balanced array of strategies. Percentages reported are generally based on the number of survey participants responding to the specific question, unless otherwise noted.

New project-managed program brings commercial moving, logistics, and facilities services together, with a clearly defined scope of work for every project.

WATERTOWN, Mass., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Olympia today announced the launch of Scope 360™, a project-managed commercial moving program designed to help organizations plan and execute office relocations, workplace reconfigurations, and asset transitions with greater clarity, coordination, and control.

Commercial relocations are rarely just about moving furniture,” said Michael Gilmartin, founder and CEO of Olympia. “They involve people, facilities, technology, vendors, schedules, and business-continuity decisions. Scope 360 gives clients one experienced team to coordinate the entire transition.

Scope 360 brings the many moving parts of a commercial transition together through a single, coordinated plan. From defining the initial scope and managing building requirements to relocation, installation, storage, technology coordination, and final closeout, the program helps organizations minimize disruption and keep projects moving forward.

Scope 360 services include:

Office, workplace, and internal relocationsCommercial storage and asset managementWarehousing, receiving, delivery, and project stagingFurniture, fixtures, and equipment receiving and installationIT disconnect, relocation, and reconnect coordinationRental-crate delivery and moving materialsLiquidation, decommissioning, recycling, and responsible disposalFacilities support, departmental reshuffles, and phased movesEmergency and restoration logisticsPre-move planning, building coordination, and move-day execution

Each Scope 360 engagement begins with a customized project scope based on the organization’s facilities, inventory, timeline, operational requirements, and stakeholders. A dedicated project team coordinates the work to help reduce downtime, maintain accountability, and address potential issues before they affect the schedule.

The program is designed to support office and corporate clients as well as healthcare organizations, laboratories, universities, technology companies, professional-services firms, government agencies, and other institutions managing complex or time-sensitive transitions.

Scope 360 is available through Olympia’s operations in Greater Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Austin, and Tampa, with support for regional, interstate, phased, and multi-site projects.

Olympia’s commercial team manages relocations for corporate offices, hospitals, universities, and laboratories, coordinating everything from equipment disconnect and reconnect to phased, multi-day move execution.

“Scope 360 reflects how our commercial team already approaches complex projects: understand the complete picture, build the right plan, and stay accountable through the final detail,” Gilmartin added. “The name gives that approach a clear identity and makes it easier for clients to access Olympia’s full range of commercial capabilities.”

MICHAELA JAÉ RODRIGUEZ TO BE HONORED BY APLA HEALTH AT THE 42ND ANNUAL AIDS WALK LOS ANGELES ON OCTOBER 18, 2026

Joel Kim Booster to present Rodriguez with the Voice of Visibility Award, followed by an Opening Ceremony Performance from Singer/Songwriter David Archuleta
 

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — APLA Health announced today it will present its inaugural Voice of Visibility Award to honor actress and activist Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Pose, Loot) on Sunday, October 18, 10:30 a.m. at the 42nd annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles, a fundraising event celebrating life, honoring those who have been lost, and taking action against HIV. On-screen co-star and advocate Joel Kim Booster will present Rodriguez with the honor during the AIDS Walk kick-off ceremony in West Hollywood Park, which will also feature a live performance from David Archuleta. Registration is now open at aidswalkla.org.

“There is still a cruel distance between what medicine can do and who actually gets to benefit from it. We know access to testing, treatment, and consistent care saves lives, yet our most marginalized communities, especially Black and Brown trans women, continue to bear a disproportionate burden,” said Rodriguez. “Our lives cannot become negotiable when the political climate changes or when supporting us becomes inconvenient. If you stand with this community, that commitment has to remain when it is hardest. We are not disposable, and we deserve the same chance to live fully, love freely, dream boldly, and grow old.”

As the first and oldest AIDS walk in the country, APLA Health presents its Voice of Visibility Award to Rodriguez for her commitment to HIV/AIDS awareness and destigmatization, and her advocacy for the transgender community. Rodriguez lives this year’s APLA Health AIDS Walk theme, “Defend Care, Demand Action,” a message aimed squarely at closing the gap between what medicine can now do and who can actually get it.

“Michaela Jaé is a powerful voice for the community,” said Craig E. Thompson, CEO of APLA Health. “Voices like hers keep HIV and equity in the public conversation at a time when it would be easy to look away. HIV is no longer the death sentence it once was, but that progress depends on people being able to afford testing, treatment, and ongoing care.”

Rodriguez won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series for Pose, becoming the first openly transgender actress to win the award, and was the first trans woman nominated for a Primetime Emmy in a leading acting category, also for Pose. She was also honored with GLAAD’s Stephen F. Kolzak Award and named The Advocate’s Person of the Year for her work promoting LGBTQ+ acceptance and HIV/AIDS awareness.

This year’s sponsors of APLA Health’s AIDS Walk Los Angeles 2026 include Premier Sponsor Paul Hastings; Grand Sponsors ABC 7, Gilead, and Paramount; Principal Sponsors Anthem, City of West Hollywood, ViiV Healthcare, Latham & Watkins, and NuvemRx; Major Sponsors Albertsons and Starbucks; Supporting Sponsors City National Bank, Baldwin Hills Investors, Ltd., and The Abbey; and Event Sponsors Amgen, Decron, Lionsgate, Eddie’s Pharmacy, KPMG, Queer Industry Night, Enterprise Mobility, Jeni’s Ice Creams, Keck Medicine of USC, and Room & Board Home Furnishings.
