Intangible Asset Valuations

When Stern Brothers discusses valuing intangible assets our team likes to refer to them as “valuing air”. Intangible assets lack a physical substance but are growing in importance within our technology-based ecosystems. In 2018 intellectual property (i.e. an intangible asset) represented 33.41% of US gross domestic investment. Intangible assets are growing in importance within each industry as investment funds and corporations continue investing in high-growth tech startups, products, and platforms that have the potential to change our society. Our team is committed to keeping up with the ongoing and new trends to best understand our clients’ life work.
