Level 1 Asset

Level 1 asset is an asset valued using quoted prices for identical items in active markets under the fair-value hierarchy.

Why this matters to income investors

Quoted active-market prices make valuation more directly observable, though prices still move.

How to use level 1 asset in your research

Read how the company valued the asset and whether the figure came from a market quote, model, or management estimate. Compare valuation changes with realized cash flows and the latest earnings report.
