International Options for Professional Athletes

Professional athletes are in a unique situation in terms of career and financial status. This presents both tremendous opportunities as well as challenges which call for careful planning. Generally speaking a professional athletic career is characterized by uncertainty and relatively high earnings for a short duration. Protecting earnings and accumulated wealth therefore magnifies in importance, particularly where the athlete's goal is to ensure that an income stream is available once peak earning years are over.

Another factor professional athletes must contend with, is the perception of wealth that many attach to them. This perception can lead to frivolous liability lawsuits where once again the importance of protecting assets is evident.

International exposure is yet another distinguishing characteristic that athletes today are subject to and which can have financial implications. Whether the athlete originates from a different country than the one in which they are currently playing or whether they are taking advantage of international marketing opportunities, there are a number of consequences and options to consider

A lack of time can also compound matters as many professional athletes are busy fulfilling requirements of their careers and have little time to devote to the in-depth research required to develop a sound and effective financial plan.

The most effective manner to address these unique circumstances is at the international level where there is a greater number of options to choose from and where results exceed those that can be obtained with domestic strategies. AME Consulting & Associates will simplify and guide our clients through the entire process to ensure they have a full understanding of the chosen strategies and are able to take full control over their financial futures.
