Private Equity
Understanding the value of IP assets is crucial for private equity firms to make informed investment decisions, maximize return on investment, and decrease investment risk. Our seminal study on intangible asset market value of the S&P 500 companies, reveals that intangible assets are now responsible for 90% of business value. At Ocean Tomo, a part of J. S. Held, we help private equity firms understand the contribution of a target company’s intellectual property (IP) assets to enterprise value. These insights help private equity firms better assess and manage the risks and opportunities associated with their investments.
In addition to IP-focused diligence work, our Advisory Services practice provides comprehensive investment banking and transaction diligence services to Private Equity and other clients. We advise on the buy and sell side and provide a range of capital raising activities to clients and companies looking for non-traditional ways to approach their structural, capital or strategic issues

Looking beyond the transaction, IP can provide an alternative exit strategy for private equity firms when an investment fails to meet expectations. When investments fail, IP can be a valuable asset that can be sold or licensed. IP assets are easily transferred with minimal costs.
