Wealth Management for Professional Athletes
Professional athletes face a short earnings window and a lifetime of financial decisions. At Global Advisers, we provide disciplined wealth planning to help athletes turn peak income years into long-term security. Our integrated approach includes investment management, insurance strategy, tax coordination, and legacy planning.
Why Athletes Need Specialized Financial Planning
Athletes often earn the majority of their lifetime income in a few short years. Without a structured plan, this creates risks of overspending, poor investments, and long-term instability. Sudden wealth, early retirement, and public visibility all require a proactive and confidential financial strategy.
Our team helps athletes navigate income variability, protect their assets, and build a life beyond the field. Whether you’re signing your first contract or preparing for retirement, our planning evolves with your career.
Managing Contracts, Endorsements & Career Transitions
Athlete income is often diverse and uneven: salaries, bonuses, endorsements, appearance fees, and royalties. We provide tailored planning around contract cash flow, tax withholdings, agent and legal coordination, and post-career transition support.
From setting up corporate structures to limit liability and manage brand income, to planning for career transitions into media, coaching, or business, we create a plan built for both stability and growth.
Tax Optimization for High-Earning Careers
Athletes are often subject to multi-state and even international taxation, with complex filing and withholding rules. Our planning includes proactive coordination with CPAs to manage residency audits, avoid double taxation, and structure income for maximum after-tax retention.
We also evaluate charitable vehicles like donor-advised funds, deferred compensation strategies, and asset location to reduce long-term liabilities while supporting philanthropic goals.
