📊 New Data Tool for Evaluating Sports Franchises The University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business has teamed up with Arctos Sports Partners to launch the pioneering Sports Franchise Index (SFI). This innovative initiative promises to transform how we understand the performance and valuation of sports franchises. 🔍 What is the SFI? The Sports Franchise Index offers a comprehensive and transparent measure of the financial and operational health of sports franchises. Utilizing robust data analytics, the SFI aims to provide deep insights into the sports industry. 💡 Notable Findings: - Long-Term Growth: The value of North American sports assets included in the index has compounded at 13.0% per annum over the last 60 years, outperforming the equity market by 2.5%. - Superior Risk/Return: According to several measures of risk, North American sports assets included in the index possess risk/return characteristics superior to other traditional and alternative asset classes. 📊 Latest Performance Updates (as of Q1 2024): - Quarter-to-Date Return: 4.8% - Year-to-Date Return: 28.1% - Three-Years-to-Date Return: 16.7% 🔝 Year-Over-Year Performance: - Outperforming Assets: North American sports assets have outperformed global equities (23.8%), U.S. small cap stocks (19.7%), private credit (8.8%), private equity (6.0%), commodities (1.5%), and fixed income (1.3%). - Top Performers: The U.S. media and entertainment sector (53.6%) and U.S. equities (29.9%) have outperformed North American sports assets included in the index. This collaboration highlights a significant step forward in using data-driven strategies to revolutionize the sports industry.

Rival, a three-year old Gaming-as-a-Service (GAAS) provider, recently raised a $1.6mm seed round. Most esports endeavors to date have focused on winning or ‘being the best’. Rival is going in the other direction, and leaning into community building and entertainment. Its platform serves as a participatory digital gaming destination for young fans, and the company provides the operational overlays enterprise customers need to establish meaningful connections with them (think: moderator tools, ability to ingest streams, and promote media). The company seems to have found product-market fit with pro sports organizations eager to reach the gaming or esports demo. 46 teams currently subscribe to the GAAS. “The next-gen customer is spending equally as much time playing games as they are consuming legacy social media platforms,” Matt Virtue (founder, Rival) said. And “much less on broadcast [television where traditional sports air].” #sportsbiz #esports #gaming #fanengagement #investment https://lnkd.in/eRcShHBm
