Intangible assets value to support investment

In 2018, intangible assets for FTSE 250 accounted for more than £320 billion. (80% market cap of FTSE 250). These non-physical assets that include for instance goodwill, brand recognition, copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade names, have rapidly risen in importance compared to tangible assets like machinery. These types of assets are not exclusive to FTSE companies as more and more SMEs develop new innovative solutions to keep ahead of the game and disrupt industries.
