Pension Planning for Sports professionals
There is, typically, only a short window in the professional careers of sportsmen or women for making future financial provision. Given the unique and unrivalled contribution, investment and benefit flexibility of pension schemes – plus their beneficial tax treatment – it is vital that full advantage is taken of the pension planning opportunities within this window.
Advice to Sporting Professionals
We provide specific, tailored individual advice to our sports clients, their managers, agents and other advisors (or unions) on a wide range of related areas including:
- Pensions and actuarial advice on existing pension entitlements and recommending how these could be adapted to meet the individual’s needs and ambitions.
- Optimising pension and benefit arrangements when negotiating new contracts
- Providing optimum pension structures for both active and retired sports professionals - including SSASs and SIPPs
- Advice on offshore pension structures and schemes on a move abroad, during a career or thereafter. We advise our clients on the suitability of international schemes – including QROPS and QNUPS - depending on the individual’s needs.
- Advice to sports professionals on how pensions should be utilised and dealt with in the event of divorce.
- Investment advice and consultancy, manager selection and assessment of risk profiles.
