The Nonmarketable Investment Company Evaluation Method (NICE)
The NICE Method is a valuation method under the Income Approach to value. It is designed to determine the fair market value of noncontrolling equity interests in closely held investment entities, such as family limited partnerships (“FLPs”) and limited liability companies (“LLCs”). By combining discounted cash flow with basic Modern Portfolio Theory, NICE determines fair market value based upon (1) the risk and expected returns of the entity’s portfolio of assets, (2) the incremental required rates of return from the risks of lack of control and lack of marketability and (3) the range of the expected holding period of the subject interest.
The NICE-R model software, downloadable through the ASA, is an Excel based program which will calculate fair market value after a few basic inputs by the user. The model includes the required rates of return designed to match the riskiness of the entity’s portfolio assets. These provided returns are all sourced from peer-reviewed academic papers and with accompanying empirical studies. Nevertheless, the user is free to override all ROR inputs in favor of the user’s own opinion or other source for this required data. The program is totally transparent with no hidden or locked cells. The user is fee to copy, modify and share files without restriction.
Users are required to participate in a webinar reviewing the NICE Method prior to receiving the downloadable file. Those that have completed the webinar will also be invited to join a user group so they may discuss the Method and its application with other users.

Your Passport to Safeguarding Your Future! No matter how well you do your job, you can still be sued. As an appraiser, you risk being sued every time you provide appraisal services. And regardless of how well you've done your job, you'll spend valuable time and hard-earned money to defend yourself in a lawsuit. As an appraiser, your biggest challenge today may be finding liability insurance for which your practice area qualifies. In fact, many insurance companies do not offer coverage for any appraisal services. Association Member Benefits Advisors (AMBA), working together with ASA, has developed the ASA Professional Liability Program to counter risks you face and protect you for negligent acts, errors, and omissions. Click the link above or call (800) 367-7950 for more information. Note: The ASA Professional Liability Program is not designed to insure high exposure practice areas such as Business Valuation. The policy terms and conditions will govern coverage at the time a claim is made. Please read the policy carefully. All terms are subject to underwriting.
Hill Program Managers, a division of One80 Intermediaries, offers coverage to a variety of professionals involved in business valuation, mergers & acquisitions, business management consulting, and financial advisors through underwriters at Lloyd’s of London including Professional Liability (E&O), Commercial General Liability, Excess Professional Liability and Cyber Liability & Protection. Limits of liability are available up to $2,000,000 and premiums begin at $2,000. Excess available upon request. Be sure to indicate your membership and ASA designation (if applicable) on your application for additional benefits!
