This book aims to overcome the limitations the variations in
bank-specifics impose by providing a bank-specific valuation theoretical
framework and a new asset-side model. The book includes also a
constructive comparison of equity and asset side methods. The authors
present a novel framework entitled, the "Asset Mark-down Model". This
method incorporates an Adjusted Present Value model, which allows
practitioners to identify the main value creation sources of a
particular bank: from asset-based cash flow and the mark-down on
deposits, to tax benefits on bearing liabilities. Through the
implementation of this framework, the authors offer a more accurate and
more specific approach to valuing banks.
