This book presents the main valuation approaches that can be
used to value financial institutions. By sketching 1) the different
business models of banks (both commercial and investment banks) and
insurance companies (life, property and casualty and reinsurance);
2) the structure and peculiarities of financial institutions'
reporting and financial statements; and 3) the main features of
regulatory capital frameworks for banking and insurance (ie Basel
III, Solvency II), the book addresses why such elements make the
valuation of financial institutions different from the valuation of
non-financial companies.

The book then features the valuation models that can be used to
determine the value of banks and insurance companies including the
Discounted Cash Flow, Dividend Discount Model, and Residual Income
Model (with the appropriate estimation techniques for the cost of
capital and cash flow in financial industries). The main techniques
to perform the relative valuation of financial institutions are
then presented: along the traditional multiples (P/E, P/BV, P/TBV,
P/NAV), the multiples based on industry-specific value drivers are
discussed (for example, P/Pre Provision Profit, P/Deposits,
P/Premiums, P/Number of branches). Further valuation tools such as
the "Value Maps" or the "Warranted Equity
Method" will be explained and discussed. The closing section
of the book will briefly focus on the valuation of specific
financial companies/vehicles such as closed-end funds, private
equity funds, leasing companies, etc.
