lower expected income, over a shorter life, with a
higher cost of capital. This would tend to result
in a lower brand valuation.

Executive Summary - Brand Strength
Executive Summary - Brand Strength
it is difficult to imagine another businesses with
the capacity to develop the merchandising
opportunities more effectively.
Disneys resorts are marketed as the happiest
place on Earth. That has proved true not just for
its customers but for investors too.
Lego has lost its position at the top of the table.
It remains a very powerful brand for many of the
same reasons identified last year. Legos appeal
spans generations; as well as the creative
freedom it gives children, the brand appeals to
the nostalgia of adults. It generally avoids
gendered marketing, by appealing to boys and
girls equally Lego maximises the size of its target
demographic. That approach also pleases
parents, as concerns mount over the effect toys
may have on the outlook.

Brand Value and Share Price
It has long been acknowledged that powerful
brands drive stakeholder preference, improving
business performance and ultimately increasing
shareholder value. However, for the first time the
extent of this effect has been quantified.
In December of 2015 we took a retrospective
look at the share price of the brands we have
valued and their subsequent stock market
performance, revealing compelling evidence to
suggest that highly branded businesses and
those with strong brands can outperform the
market.
The most striking finding is that an investment
strategy based on the most highly branded
companies (those where brand value makes up a
high proportion of overall enterprise value) would
have led to a return almost double that of the
average for the S&P 500 as a whole.
Between 2007 and 2015, the average return
across the S&P was 49%. However, by using
Brand Finances data, investors could have
generated returns of up to 97%. Investing in
companies with a brand value to enterprise value
(BV/EV) ratio of greater than 30% would have
generated returns of 94%. Investing exclusively in
the 10 companies with the highest BV/EV ratios
