Affinity Sports – Helping Athletes Plan Ahead

Affinity Group is a Trust and Corporate Service provider with offices in the Isle of Man, Cayman Islands, Malta and the USA. Launched in 2023, our sports initiative is focused around helping athletes plan ahead for a future beyond sport to build a secure financial legacy.

We offer a comprehensive range of in-house solutions that cover an athlete’s demanding lifestyle and unique financial requirements. We support a range of professional athletes at all stages of their careers, whether they’re just starting out or at the peak of their success.

As a regulated business in multiple jurisdictions, we prioritise operating with integrity. Our main focus is to protect our clients’ interests, preserve their wealth, and assist them in managing the physical, emotional, and financial pressures of working in sport.

A family office is a wealth advisory firm that manages all facets of a family’s wealth and lifestyle. Professional athletes are a unique type of High-Net-Worth Individual. While income peaks for most individuals in their mature years, professional athletes accumulate large sums of wealth at a very young age.

It is well-known within the sports industry that athletes can struggle with financial mismanagement due to many factors. Athletes can lead lavish expensive lifestyles, can be inexperienced with handling finances or may not have the appropriate support to manage their wealth.

Unfortunately, an alarming number of case studies show many high-profile athletes have fallen into severe financial stress or bankruptcy within a few years of retirement. Misplaced trust and a lack of planning without the support of credible advisors are key reasons why athletes fail to build a secure financial future.

A tailored approach to achieve individual goals

Athlete’s require tailored, professional advice to meet their personal and financial goals. A family office will deploy a bespoke strategy to encompass an athlete’s individual desires.

By deploying a unique strategy, an athlete will receive a comprehensive solution which covers all facets of wealth management including investing, international tax-planning, asset protection, estate planning and succession. The strategy will maximise an athlete’s earnings, safeguard their wealth and preserve their wealth to secure a financial legacy.

By choosing a multi-family office, an athlete will also receive dedicated support beyond their finances. The personal service extends to lifestyle management, including administration, travel requirements, healthcare and media.
