Sports professionals
Financial advice for professional football players and individuals in sport who typically have short careers with high earnings.
Sport
The service
Financial advice for professional footballers, athletes, boxers, rugby players and individuals across sport. Amplify Wealth have created a 'one stop shop' to act as advisors to professional athletes, providing a professional but personal relationship with a long history of working with individuals in sport, providing a service that goes beyond just financial advice. We understand the nature in which professional athletes earn and the typically short careers — and we stay alongside you throughout, guiding decisions season by season rather than handing over a plan and disappearing.
How we help
Monthly investing straight from playing salary — a fixed share of every wage payment into investments, so wealth builds over your career.
Retirement modelling to a realistic finish date — often 33 to 36 — with the pot sized to replace playing income for the fifty years that follow.
Image rights and endorsement income structured properly, alongside your agent and accountant.
Mortgage advice including buying your first home and helping you navigate the transaction all the way through to helping build investment property portfolios.
Protection against career-ending injury, including permanent total disablement cover.
Ongoing reviews and regular contact to assist with all things financial including monthly investing, budgeting and cash management, insurances, finance and luxury asset purchases.
Who it's for:
-
Senior and well established players looking to review their finances.
-
First contract or youth team players looking to get on the property ladder or seeking guidance on planning for their financial future.
-
Existing investors seeking a 'second opinion' or a review of their existing holdings.
Where most clients start:
- Buying your first home
- Remortgaging your existing mortgage
- Starting a savings plan
- Building investments
- Arranging sufficient protection
While Investing can help your money grow over time, it's important to remember that the value of investments can go down as well as up, and it is not guaranteed. It is important to note that tax treatment will depend on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future.
A picture of the work
What this looks like in practice
A young premier league player on their second contract asks Amplify to review the savings and investments they have made so far. Upon conducting a review, we notice that the client is paying higher fees than than they expected while the investments weren't performing in line with expectations. We re-modelled the earnings to age 35, set a an investment plan and structure and established a plan that would provide a sufficient income post career, reviewed every transfer window.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
