Sports & Entertainment
Stonehage Fleming have many years’ experience assisting global sports stars, providing a range of integrated financial and administrative services to ensure their long-term interests are being looked after, while they focus primarily on the success of their sporting careers.
The particular needs of sports stars
The earnings of sports stars usually peak in their twenties and early thirties and building a capital base to provide for their long-term future is a particular challenge. Depending on the sport and the individual, their affairs can also be complicated by multiple sources of income and by associated business interests, often leveraging their name and contacts.
Our experience has taught us how to help them avoid the obvious financial pitfalls, whilst taking full advantage of the many opportunities which present themselves.
Wealth management and financial planning
Our central philosophy is to apply the same financial disciplines as one would to a business, including professional risk management. Consequently, we place a significant amount of emphasis on strong governance, discipline and process in respect of the financial affairs of our athletes.
We provide a full range of services from the management of investments,
financial planning and reporting to fiduciary, trusts, company formation and advice on transactions and business ventures.
We have an extensive network of professional partners and work alongside agents, sponsors and existing advisers to allow our athletes to focus fully on their professional careers.
Practical wisdom
Our experience of advising other successful sports stars, as well as a wide variety of wealthy individuals and families, gives us insights into the challenges and opportunities they face. This experience goes far beyond financial matters and helps ensure all the implications of decisions are thoroughly considered in their proper context.
