Butler Pinkerton Model™—Company-Specific Risk and TCOE Calculator™
The Butler Pinkerton Model™—Company-Specific Risk and TCOE Calculator™ is a cutting-edge, Web-based tool-available exclusively through BVR-objectively quantifies company-specific risk premiums (CSRP), as well as total cost of equity (TCOE), using market-derived, empirical support.
Using Total Beta calculations (a concept developed by Professor Aswath Damodaran at New York University), the Calculator quantifies both CSRPs and TCOE for guideline publicly-traded companies. Use these empirically-derived benchmarks to better support and defend your total discount rate, as well as your CSRP, for your private company.
Do you want to be the expert with the data or the expert without any empirical data to defend your CSRP conclusion? Given the Courts’ strong desires for empirical data, we believe the choice is obvious.
