In the case of our fund, we are not dogmatic about certain metrics, models or multiples. We just try to come up with with a fair value of the company thinking about what the normalized business is going to be worth in 5-10 years.

Yeah, that's what I am seeing looking at old investment presentations the PM I will be working for has given.

lbo models to ascertain private market valuations; Conservative (and simple) DCF models; Comps; and Indiscriminately applying multiples.

Indiscriminately using multiples in the sense that, "TargetCo generates prodigious amounts of CF and should trade at a premium to a 15x market multiple. 15-20x is a conservative estimate." Of course, all investments have a significant margin of safety.

It's just interesting.

My posts will be fraught with grammatical errors since I post from my phone. I will try my best not to post an incoherent babble.
