Where judgment meets the numbers
At JSB Partners, we place valuation professionals at hedge funds, private equity firms, private credit funds, family offices, and investment management companies. Valuation teams price portfolio investments, especially illiquid and private assets, support fund reporting and audits, and work closely with investment, finance, and compliance teams. We recruit for opportunities from Valuation Analyst through Head of Valuation.
The background firms are looking for
Many valuation professionals come from valuation advisory firms, the valuation groups of accounting firms, fund administrators, or investment banks. Employers commonly look for strong financial modeling skills, an understanding of fair value methods, and experience with private or hard-to-value assets.
Why valuation professionals choose alternative investments
In-house valuation roles put professionals close to the investment process and to firm leadership. The work combines technical analysis with judgment, and it offers a path toward senior valuation and finance leadership.
JSB Partners has helped professionals build careers in the alternative investment industry since 1998.
Questions about valuation roles
What does a valuation professional do at an alternative investment firm?
Valuation professionals estimate the fair value of investments that do not trade on an exchange, such as private companies, loans and real estate. They build models, document their methods, present to the valuation committee and work with auditors.
Why do investment firms need in-house valuation teams?
Investors, auditors and regulators rely on a fair value for every holding. Those values drive a fund's reported performance, so firms with private or hard-to-value assets need people who can price them with care and explain their judgment.
What background do firms look for in valuation hires?
Many come from valuation advisory firms, the valuation groups of accounting firms, fund administrators or investment banks. Strong financial modeling and an understanding of fair value methods are commonly sought.
