Kroll specializes in assisting clients with the valuation of alternative investments, specifically securities and positions for which there are no "active market" quotations.

Duff & Phelps acquired Kroll in 2018 and unified under the Kroll brand in 2022.

Kroll is a market leader in providing illiquid portfolio pricing valuation services to the alternative investment community. Kroll brings extensive and unparalleled industry specific experience through years of working with some of the world’s foremost investors in alternative assets. We assist our clients with the valuation challenges of a single investment to entire portfolios. We perform independent assessments of a client’s existing valuation policy to assist in the development and implementation of industry leading valuation “best practices.” Through engagements involving billions of dollars in positions across all industries and geographies, we have extensive experience with:

Debt - senior and subordinated, secured and unsecured, performing and distressed
Preferred and common equity
Convertible securities, warrants and options
Equity, energy and credit swaps
Structured products including CDOs, CLOs, RMBS, CMBS and ABS
Whole loan pools for residential, commercial and asset backed collateral types across all borrower qualities
Real Estate

Kroll examined the relationship between historical returns of over 13,000 publicly traded companies across a variety of geographies and industries and their ESG ratings to determine the correlation of ESG ratings to company performance.
