Focus on fundamentals and signals: portfolio company updates, credit events, covenant behaviour, asset sales, and material news that can change value. Also pay attention to how often the fund reports, what assumptions are used, and whether there is a consistent valuation policy.
The goal is not to second-guess the valuer. The goal is to stay informed enough to understand the direction of risk and to avoid surprises.
