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.

Take charge of your financial future.

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.

Specialized Services for Athletes
  • Budgeting & Lifestyle Planning
  • Insurance Review & Disability Protection
  • Tax-Efficient Investment Management
  • Brand Income Structuring (LLCs, S-Corps)
  • Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI)
  • Contract & Endorsement Cash Flow Strategy
  • Family Office Coordination
  • Estate Planning & Asset Protection

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.

Solutions Tailored to Athletes Like You

Your talent earns you opportunityโ€”our job is to help you keep it. We help athletes convert high-earning years into lifetime stability through disciplined planning, smart protection, and long-term perspective. From rookie to retirement, Global Advisers offers experienced guidance built around your life, not just your career.

FAQ About Wealth Planning for Professional Athletes

How do I create a legacy beyond my sports career?2025-07-06T05:04:54-04:00

Many athletes want to give back or transition into business, media, or philanthropy. We help design charitable giving plans, foundation structures, and post-career financial strategies aligned with your legacy goals and personal mission.

What happens to my financial plan if I get injured or retire early?2025-07-06T05:04:40-04:00

Injury risk makes early exit planning essential. We stress-test your financial plan against career-ending scenarios, build multiple income pathways, and ensure your long-term goals remain achievable under various outcomes.

How can I protect my wealth from lawsuits or bad investments?2025-07-06T05:04:31-04:00

High visibility comes with increased risk. We help set up asset protection structures such as LLCs, trusts, and insurance coverage to safeguard your wealth from litigation, liability, or predatory deals.

Endorsement deals and image licensing can create complex income streams across multiple jurisdictions. We coordinate with legal and tax professionals to ensure proper structuring, reporting, and protection of your intellectual property and personal brand.

How do I manage a large income earned over a short career span?2025-07-06T05:04:02-04:00

Athletes often earn the majority of their lifetime income within a few intense years. We help structure that income into long-term wealth through budgeting, investment strategies, and tax-efficient savings vehicles to extend financial security far beyond your playing years.
