Description:
Existing studies, focused primarily on the U.S., show the improved value factor performance when adjusting book values for intangible assets. However, there is little evidence whether this is a U.S. specific, or wider international phenomenon. My findings expand the existing evidence to multiple international regions and suggest that the intangible-adjusted book-to-market ratio better measures the value factor globally. Especially in more recent decades, where the size of intangible assets increased dramatically, the relative outperformance of the intangible-adjusted value factor over the traditional value factor has become stronger. Economically, the adjusted value factor bears additional risk related to liquidity, financial distress and funding constraints
