Abstract
I empirically estimate a discount for lack of marketability (DLOM) term structure for restriction periods up to 10 years. I model the multi-year DLOM by annually compounding the 1-year DLOM plus a term premium over the restriction period. I fit the model to a sample of 5,333 private equity placement implied DLOMs between 1985 and 2017. I estimate different DLOM term structures for the last and earlier pre-initial public offering (IPO) private equity transactions. DLOM term structures exhibit level, slope, and curvature shifts similar to an interest rate term structure.
