Trusted Wealth Guidance
A career in sports is intense, high-earning—and often short. At Global Advisers, we help athletes turn peak-earning years into long-term wealth, with planning that spans contracts, endorsements, taxes, and life after the game.
Planning for Contracts, Endorsements & Life After Sports
Whether you’re on a rookie deal or negotiating your next extension, we help you build a comprehensive financial plan that supports both your career and life after sports. Our planning includes deal modeling, cash flow forecasting, and strategic investment planning.
When the season ends—for the year or forever—we help you transition smoothly into your next chapter, with wealth that supports your goals.
Contract, Bonus & Endorsement Income
- Coordinate salary, signing bonuses, performance incentives, endorsements, appearance fees, and other income within the financial plan
- Model cash flow around seasonal, deferred, or irregular compensation
- Separate current lifestyle spending from capital intended to support long-term financial independence
- Incorporate major contract and endorsement payments into investment, liquidity, and tax planning
Investments & Diversification
- Build and manage diversified portfolios outside the athlete’s primary source of earnings
- Allocate investments according to liquidity needs, risk tolerance, career stage, and long-term objectives
- Evaluate concentrated, private, or higher-risk investment opportunities within the context of the overall portfolio
- Coordinate taxable, retirement, and other investment accounts as assets accumulate
Insurance & Income Protection
- Evaluate disability and income-protection coverage in relation to current and future earning capacity
- Review life insurance needs based on family responsibilities, financial obligations, and accumulated wealth
- Coordinate individually owned insurance with coverage available through teams, leagues, unions, or other organizations
- Evaluate long-term insurance needs as playing income declines and personal wealth increases
Cash Flow & Long-Term Wealth
- Establish spending and liquidity targets around both current earnings and expected career duration
- Maintain reserves for taxes, offseason expenses, major purchases, and periods of reduced income
- Develop savings and investment targets designed to convert peak earnings into lasting financial assets
- Model future spending needs before making significant lifestyle or financial commitments
Multi-State & Tax Planning
- Coordinate contract, endorsement, investment, and other income within the broader financial plan
- Maintain sufficient liquidity for spending, major purchases, and upcoming financial obligations
- Invest surplus earnings according to short-, intermediate-, and long-term goals
- Coordinate investment decisions with tax professionals when significant taxable events arise
Career Transition, Estate & Legacy Planning
- Model the transition from playing income to investment, business, or other post-career income
- Develop investment and withdrawal strategies designed to support life after professional sports
- Review beneficiary designations, account ownership, and asset titling as wealth and family circumstances change
- Coordinate estate, charitable giving, and wealth-transfer strategies with attorneys and tax professionals
