In 2023 Matt Richardson on Income Analytics wrote a paper regarding Pricing Tenant Income Risk for DCF Valuations. Over the years Matt has worked on analysing credit scores and monitoring credit performance to create an ‘early warning system’. This work has progressed through the Incans service. In the paper, Matt Richardson adds in discussion on how income risk and credit scores impacts valuations, aiming to introduce more sophisticated, standardised and predictive tenant income risk rating methods. As we all know, the security of income is the basis of value for a property asset. Matt proposes that data on the future probability of tenant default can be employed by valuers in their cashflow modelling as a standardised approach to risk pricing. Do the panellists agree?
How can we meet the growing demand for both a standardised way to measure income security as well as accurately reflect that calculation in the valuation process? In this in-person seminar we not only hear from the speaker Matt Richardson, we also hear from panellist Mo Ali who will provide a view from a lender’s perspective. He will be followed by Manreet Randhawa who manages a number of Nuveen’s UK balanced funds on how she sees and manages Income Risk and the impact on the valuations in her funds. The event is chaired by Kim Politzer, who actively looks as Income Risk in the works that she does at Fidelity.
This seminar is an open discussion about the pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses of the current and proposed ways to include income risk into DCFs. What are the pitfalls? What are the limitations of this approach, assuming there are some? What are other considerations we should take into account? If you are curious to find out, register now for this event.
