Brand Finance Banking & Financial Services Forum 2017

02 February 2017, 12:00–16:30 UK Time

Brand architecture: the foundation of shareholder value

Brand Finance research shows that active investment in the most heavily branded businesses (those with the highest ratio of brand value to enterprise value) can generate returns of almost double the market average. For shareholders seeking to optimise returns, analysts forecasting performance or managers developing strategy, an understanding of why this is the case is critical. At the Brand Finance Banking and Financial Services Forum 2017, we will hear both from those who assess brands and those tasked with managing them.

Join us as we examine the link between brand architecture, brand valuation and shareholder value, providing essential insight for all financial services professionals.
