The Challenge

Developing Robust Financial Models for Portfolio Monitoring Solutions The Challenge

A newly established sovereign wealth fund had recently become the owner of a multibillion-dollar portfolio of diverse businesses, spread across multiple industries and having global operations. The fund required the infrastructure to be an effective custodian of these assets and to create value in these businesses. The sovereign wealth fund lacked detailed financial models which were integral to understand, analyze and challenge management’s strategic plans. The client, therefore, engaged Kroll to develop financial models and a consolidated portfolio monitoring solution which would enable the client to give the board latest insights on overall portfolio and sector performance and drive forward its economic vision for the EMEA region.
