Family Limited Partnerships:
Discount Statistics of
Closed-end Funds
Selecting an appropriate discount
applicable to minority
interests in family limited partnerships is a challenge for
financial analysts and business appraisers. The assumptions
that the analyst makes
are particularly important and may
come under intense scrutiny should the valuation be challenged by the IRS or
the Tax Courts.
