If this is a subject heading, what does the text underneath it say?

positions that have been valued

In this context, 'valoriser' is almost certain to mean "to value, assign a value to" -- to the dismay of many francophones who feel this verb ought NOT to be used with this meaning (but instead reserved for 'enhance/upgrade' etc.).

Of course, no one would say it like this as a subject heading, so you need to tell us more of the context. How is the valuation done, and who does it? What about positions that have not been/cannot be valued?

agree joehlindsay : indeed, in professional finance, valoriser just means to value.

a possibility - depending on the context. if this is about valuation of a portfolio for regulatory purposes this might be appropriate.
