Join expert John Stockdale for a practical and comparative look at eight computational DLOM models that use volatility as an input, including option and CAPM-based models as well as the sigma-DLOM curve. Stockdale will compare the performance of these models at varying volatilities to restricted stock discount data from the FMV and Pluris databases to determine how well they work. He will also cover the nuances of restricted stock discount data and how to handle the issues that arise in their analysis and use.
