Daranfan was a Finance Intern (in Placement during 2022-23 academic year) with Morgan Stanley in the Valuation Control for Credit and Real Estate Private Equity. His main responsibilities were with the teams that managed valuation and model risk by evaluating the fair market value of assets within Morgan Stanley's credit inventory and value-added (opportunistic) real estate funds. He performed market reviews used for pricing Morgan Stanley’s products and identifying high variance trades which required repricing, this was undertaken as part of his credit work. On the Real Estate, the market reviews comprised of performing research into a variety of European submarkets and analysis of valuation models such as DCF models to ensure correct modelling assumptions and subsequently correct valuations.
