94% of companies are leaving value on the table

A July 2025 Deloitte report reveals that almost all firms lack a formal process for monetizing intangible assets. That means IP, institutional knowledge, software, and data—often the biggest drivers of enterprise value—are under-managed, under-reported, and under-leveraged.

For investors, this gap is critical:

• Companies without a strategy for intangibles risk being undervalued or missing growth opportunities.

• Companies that embed intangible stewardship into corporate policy are far better positioned to deliver sustainable returns.

At Ethivest Global, we focus on investing in businesses that recognize intangibles not just as legal protections, but as strategic assets that fuel long-term growth and value creation.
