A Palisade Case Study
Rusnano, a Russian private equity firm focused on developing nanotechnology businesses, faced high uncertainty because many investments are made at the R&D stage before products reach market. To bring a disciplined, quantitative approach to valuing high‑risk projects and managing portfolio liquidity, Rusnano adopted Palisade’s DecisionTools Suite (notably TopRank and @RISK).
Using Palisade’s DecisionTools Suite, Rusnano models KPIs at both the portfolio and investee levels to quantify risk, identify the factors with the greatest impact, and communicate uncertainty to senior executives. The Palisade tools have enabled Rusnano to calculate appropriate investment valuations based on risk, better understand overall portfolio liquidity, and trigger targeted risk‑mitigation plans—strengthening decision‑making and improving the likelihood of successful exits.
