The 2010s saw an upsurge in music catalog acquisitions, a trend that only accelerated into the 2020s. Describing this "catalog acquisition frenzy," a January 2021 Rolling Stone Magazine article observed that even investment and management firms and Wall Street companies had entered into the music business by buying rights to famous musicians' creative works, Music Catalogs Are Selling for Serious Cash. Now Wall Street Wants In - Rolling Stone)
"Right now, the gorillas in this jungle include Larry Mestel's Primary Wave and Merck Mercuriadis's Hipgnosis Songs Fund, two investment and management firms: in 2021 alone, the latter company acquired copyrights and/or income streams from Neil Young, Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, Shakira, and Jimmy Iovine," reads the article. This isn't the first time in recent memory that Wall Street mammoths have gotten involved in the inner workings of the music business," the article continues. "In 2016, BlackRock (a company with $7.8 trillion in assets under management) led a $300 million investment into Primary Wave - money that was subsequently spent on legendary music catalogs like Bob Marley's."
Master recordings earn revenue through various avenues, namely sampling, streaming and purchases/downloads, public broadcast, and use in television, film, and commercials. Secondly and according to a 2020 VarietyMagazine article, "Publishing assets are currently running at multiples well over 12 with master rights slightly lower but increasing in value. In five to 10 years, it might be 20x - the value continues to rise" Scooter Braun Sells Taylor Swift's Big Machine Masters for Big Payday - Variety
With a fair value of about $146 million as of December 31, 2019, according to an intangible asset valuation prepared by Sun Business Valuation and available on the HWAL's website www.hollywall.com, Hollywall's master recordings are believed to only be bound to increase in value as time progresses, positioning HWAL for growth well into the future.
