Elite-Level Advice for Sports Professionals

Successful Planning is Planning for Success

Unpredictability is the magic of sport. Who wins? What’s the score? What will happen next? If we knew the outcome of a game beforehand, who would bother to play?

When it comes to your finances, however, such uncertainty is less appealing and when you reach the pinnacle of your career, it is easy to forget it won’t last forever. Financial planning is an essential aspect of a rewarding sporting career. As a sportsman and experienced wealth management consultant, I am perfectly positioned to help professional sportsmen and women reach their financial goals.

Working across all sporting disciplines, I help sports professionals make the critical decisions about their careers, their wealth and their future, so that they can focus on their performance in the here and now

“Experience has shown me that sports professionals often have similar concerns but each individual’s situation is unique. I help my clients achieve their own goals – with a bespoke planning approach, that considers what winning means for them.”

In sport as in wealth management,experience counts

Sovereign’s elite-level advice is founded on a deep understanding of the sporting environment. I fully appreciate the pressure that comes with a professional sports career. I played rugby union and cricket at a relatively high level and I’m proud to see my son already following and exceeding my successes.

I have specialised in the sporting sector for several years – offering advice to sportsmen and women, both during their career and in retirement. My reputation is built upon trusted, jargon-free advice that benefits from specialist knowledge and industry experience.

  • We are proud to work with a number of professional clubs across many sports
  • We work closely with a number of sports management companies across the different sports and have built a significant number of professional sports men and women who now trust us with their financial planning
  • We work with sporting academies, offering financial education to young sportspeople at the very start of their careers.
  • In recent years women’s sport has seen much-deserved growth, with new avenues for sportswomen to enjoy successful, professional careers. I can help clients navigate these opportunities and stay ahead of a fast-paced curve.
