Overview

Description

The Thematic Stadium Naming Rights Index is based on years of research showing companies that spend on naming sports stadiums make other poor business decisions. Bad sports stadium naming right deals are an indication of other poorly allocated marketing decisions and wasteful spending. According to research and analysis in 2007 by Michael Leeds, a sports economist at Temple University, and more recently, Nicholas Rossolillo, President and Investment Advisor at Concinnus Financial, in 2016, independently showed support for this investment thesis. These companies tend to underperform their peer group and the broader market. This is an inverse index that goes up when the underlying stocks go down.
