Tobias Riley

• Assisting with the valuation of public and private companies, option valuation, and financial modelling.

Key projects include:

• Valuation of New Zealand Rugby Commercial Limited (approximately $3.5 billion enterprise value) for 2023 and 2024.
• Secondment to The Orion Group to build a financial model to track and forecast the companies' carbon emissions, and help make capital budgeting decisions to enable them to be net zero by 2050.
• Financial model built for a sell-side M&A mandate in the property sector (approximately $450 million enterprise value).

• As an intern on the External Investments and Partnerships (EIP) team, my primary responsibilities involved conducting research and performing investment due diligence on potential fund managers.
• The research component focused on ESG and sustainability, specifically profiling various managers on their sustainability credentials, and providing guidance on what minimum ESG standards should be in place for real asset managers to be investable from the fund’s perspective.
• The investment due diligence component was part of the search for managers and funds, so that the Fund could deploy capital designated for the new sustainable growth equity opportunity.
• This included a successful investment in Generation Investment Management's Sustainable Solutions Fund XI.

• Completed a project compiling records and data on the New Zealand managed funds sector, which was then transformed and analysed to produce a report on the past year, and act as a database where future information can be stored.
• Produced a report that examined fund managers' trends and performance, the types of assets used, and differences in passive versus active investing.
