Valuation

DFR uses a systematic process to determine the fair values of specific investments, thereby enabling prospective investors to gauge the current and future potential of these investments. Apart from the core data of the asset, the process factors in a number of relevant valuation parameters depending on the asset class. The result is expressed based on the discounted cash flow (DCF) method; the fund company’s anticipated cash flows are shown over a multi-year period up to the assumed sale of the asset.

Research & Rating 

Complementing our fund valuations in the asset classes of ships, real estate and renewable energies, DFR also offers research and rating services for the shipping, real estate and energy markets. These services can be geared to a wide variety of different parameters depending on the client and their interest in specific market segments. DFR’s comprehensive database ensures high-quality results from an independent and impartial source.

Studies 

Highly detailed analyses of extended periods are published as DFR studies. Typically commissioned by individual market players, these studies explore specialised topics that influence the markets. Such papers are drafted in close conjunction and cooperation with the client. In addition, DFR prepares proprietary studies on topics that are relevant for the markets and makes these publications available to interested parties.
