Under CISI UAE Financial Rules and Regulations, an in-kind shares evaluation report must be based on data covering a maximum period of three months prior to the evaluation date. This ensures the valuation reflects recent market conditions and financial information, maintaining accuracy and relevance. Longer periods could risk outdated or misleading valuations, affecting investor decisions and fund reporting. The three-month timeframe is aligned with international valuation standards applied to in-kind contributions to investment funds.
