Olé, Olé, Olé for your portfolio

Inspired by the start of FIFA World Cup, we looked at the publicly traded brands that sponsored the games four years ago in Brazil. And, repeated the process for the public companies that are sponsoring 2018 games that are going on as we speak. These are global brands that spend a significant amount of money on advertising by sponsoring world's most popular sports, soccer or as the rest of the world calls it, football. 

While we don't plan to invest in all of these companies, we've got to say, we scored (ahem, score! get it?) a few companies from this bunch for our portfolio. Interesting though, brand investment hasn't paid off for all. 

Inspired? Go ahead, and take a look at the FIFA World Cup-inspired portfolio by visiting the Investment Ideas page on our website!
