Let us help you avoid common missteps and create a long-term plan that not only preserves your wealth for your lifetime, but also builds a legacy for future generations.
We Know What it Means to be a Team
SFP Sports leverages more than 100 years of experience in our Private Wealth team. We also understand the unique opportunities and challenges of a sports career because we’ve been there. Several of our team members have played at the collegiate and professional levels and have first-hand experience with the financial opportunity and complexities you’ll face.
We’ve also seen former teammates and other athletes lose their financial freedom due to bad investment decisions, exploitation by friends and family, and lack of proper education regarding financial risk.
Here's the Game Plan
We’re not in the business of making our clients wealthy. You accomplish that on your own. Our goal is to mitigate the risk of you losing the capital you have spent your career accumulating. We take it one step further by developing a strategy to help you continue to build wealth and support your family into your retirement and beyond.
Our process is identical to the broader Private Wealth team. What sets apart SFP Sports is our team-based approach to relationships and intimate understanding of the sports industry. Our backgrounds combined with professional financial training mean we’re uniquely qualified to advise you throughout your career.
Meet Our Team
Our experiences working in the sports industry means we understand the world you live in and the demands on your time. We also know exactly what it means to be on your team. You can count on us to listen to your needs and values, leverage our team and connections to come up with the best possible plan for you, and manage the day-to-day of your financial affairs, so you can focus on excelling in your career.
