The research, in terms of target type is a part of applied research and the method of research, in terms of substance and content, is a correlation research. The research framework is deductive-inductive reasoning. Research hypotheses have been analyzed based on information gathered from 141 companies accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period from 2009 to 2015. The results of the hypotheses test showed that there is no significant relationship between intellectual capital calculated using conventional value method and investment efficiency and the existence of a significant and positive relationship between the intellectual capital calculated by the coefficient of intellectual-Pulic value added and the calculated intellectual capital calculated using the intangible value coefficient with more investment and there is a significant and negative relationship between the intellectual capital calculated by the coefficient of intellectual-Pulic value and intellectual capital calculated using the intangible value coefficient with low capitalization
