Sterling recognizes the need of Hedge Fund managers to respond to regulatory and investor concerns over internal valuation practices and procedures, and provides independent valuations for a broad range of Hedge Fund strategies using sophisticated industry-standard pricing models. In addition to our internal resources, we consult with a diverse team of professionals, including external academic advisors with specific product or industry expertise to value investments held by Hedge Funds.

Sterling specializes in serving the Hedge Fund industry, and therefore is familiar with a broad range of Hedge Fund strategies and current industry practices. Critically, Sterling is able to provide independent valuation opinions since it is not affiliated with a financial or other institution and it does not have any interest in the underlying investment transactions.
