Why Professional Athlete Wealth:

As noted in the Forbes article from Aprils 2018 “NFL Players Need A Playbook,” it is critical for athletes that come into sudden wealth to have both a playbook and financial team to help advance and protect their wealth. “Player’s salaries are cut by about 50% after taxes and agent fees. Long story short, an athletes life after their playing career lasts much longer so using the money you can make during those years to prepare yourself for your future is paramount to a life of stability and security.”

Through our experience, exceptional resources and concierge-level service, we believe we can greatly help you to get you on track and stay on track for your financial future, one step at a time.

Don’t Get Sidetracked 

While organizations including the NFL conducts workshops for players covering topics such as substance abuse, gambling and personal finance, their effectiveness is a matter for debate. Many pro athletes may assume the money will keep flowing in for years, but that’s usually not the case.

The need for financial advice is indisputable, as the average career of a professional athlete is typically anywhere from only 3-5 years. The challenge is making the earnings of a relatively short career last a lifetime.

In “Going for broke: When athletes lose it all,” (CBS 9/13/2015) it is noted that athletes should take some sort of “financial boot camp” beyond courses offered in college. According to league statistics, the average career in the NFL is a little more than 3 years; Major League Baseball, about 5. The NBA is right in the middle. But planning for that kind of early, early retirement isn’t on most rookies’ minds when they hit the lottery.

Of the approximate 2,000 college football players drafted during the 8 years 1996-2003 who went on to play in the NFL, 1 out of 6 athletes (i.e., 15.7%) filed for personal bankruptcy within 12 years of retiring from the league (source: National Bureau of Economic Research).

Even more disturbing, is that athletes often delegate too much and oversee too little. Some entrust others not just to make the big financial moves but to pay routine bills. As noted in Wikipedia, “Only one out of every three professional athletes is focused on the business side of his or her career”.

Money Smart Athletes

There are some pro-athletes that got Money Smart before and after retirement as noted in 8 Ex- NFL Starts Made a Fortune. Bucking the perceived trend, these former football stars hang onto — and even grow — their nest egg.

Developing disciplined financial habits are not skills taught in college. The 7th tip in 10 Secret Mindsets of Multi-Millionaires points out to “Produce Relentlessly.”

A famous NBA player confided that he cannot go a day without shooting 1,000 shots every day. Financial success takes the same amount of grit and focus. Attaching yourself to your purpose is the secret to becoming a success both on and off the court.

Why utilize an independent financial advisor firm

Independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firms provide personalized financial advice to their clients, many of whom have complex financial needs. Because advisors at these firms are independent, they are not tied to any particular family of funds or investment products. As fiduciaries, they are held to the highest standard of care – and are required to act in the best interests of their clients at all times. They are registered with either the Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities regulators.

Key benefits 

Many independent advisory firms are owned by the individual advisors who run them, so they forge personal relationships with their clients.  The following five areas can help add trust, confidence and value when working with an independent advisor and firm: 

-Customized guidance based on your entire financial picture.
-A relationship that’s responsive, attentive, and personal.
-A fee structure that is simple and transparent.
-A high level of expertise to support your complex financial needs.
-Your money is held by an independent custodian, not the advisor firm.
