(1/10) The Asset-Light Economy 👾

“The four largest companies today by market value do not need any net tangible assets. They are not like AT&T, GM, or Exxon Mobil, requiring lots of capital to produce earnings. We have become an asset-light economy."

- Warren Buffett
(2/10) The End of Accounting 🧮

“The constant rise in the importance of intangibles in companies’ performance and value creation, yet suppressed by accounting and reporting practices, renders financial information increasingly irrelevant.”

- Baruch Lev and Feng Gu
(3/10) The Dark Matter of Finance 🔮

While intangible matter holds the financial universe together, it is not visible to the naked eye. Unstructured data contains info on intangibles but is large, noisy, and resistant to standard statistical analysis.

Fortunately, the digital age has also triggered an explosion of new data and tools, enabling us to start exploring this brave new world.
(5/10) Intangible Moats 🏰

Intangible assets are quickly becoming the primary form of economic value. Firms with loyal customers, top talent, innovative products, and network effects are increasingly dominating economic activity.
(6/10) Intangible Balance Sheets 📋

We decompose the balance sheets of four firms to highlight their varying dependence on tangible assets, IP, human capital, brand, and network effects.

(8/10) The Disruption of Value 📉

Traditional value investing has continued to work -- but only as long as you avoid running it on high-intangible companies. Unsurprisingly, tangible value metrics have been ineffective in evaluating firms composed mainly of intangible assets.
(9/10) Fixing The "Value Factor" 👨‍🎓

The Fama-French "Value Factor" (i.e., price / book ratio) is a widely used academic benchmark. We find that adding intangibles might help improve it.
