(2) Includes cash and performance-related compensation payable related to the Sagard Investment Funds.
(3) The management companies of the Sagard Investment Funds are presented at their carrying value in accordance with IFRS.
(4) Valued at carrying value in accordance with IFRS.

In determining the fair value of assets, investments in subsidiaries and associates are adjusted to fair value as follows:

  • Investments in publicly traded companies are valued at their market value, measured as the closing share price on the reporting date;
  • Investments in private entities are valued at fair value based on management’s estimate using consistently applied valuation models either based on a valuation multiple or discounted cash flows. Certain valuations are prepared by external valuators or subject to review by external valuators. Market-comparable transactions are generally used to corroborate the estimated fair value. The value of investments in private entities is presented net of any management incentives;
  • Investments in investment funds are valued at the fair value reported by the fund which is net of carried interest or other incentives.

Investments measured at market value and cash represent 82.9% of the total assets at fair value at September 30, 2019 (82.7% at December 31, 2018).

The presentation of the investments in subsidiaries and associates at fair value is not in accordance with IFRS; net asset value is a non-IFRS financial measure. Refer to the "Non-IFRS Measures and Presentation" section of the Corporation's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis for the definition of non-IFRS financial measures and their reconciliation with IFRS financial measures.
