To deliver strong absolute returns in alignment with the continual growing asset valuations of sporting assets being realised around the world.
Investment Overview
The proposed investment strategy focuses on medium to long-term capitalization growth in the sports sector, targeting the dynamic and fast-growing areas of women's sports, football, and sports technology. The fund is designed to capitalize on the evolving landscape of the sports industry, with a particular focus on the U.S. women's football market, men's football in promotion-sensitive leagues, and sports tech innovations. The fund is structured for investors seeking value appreciation rather than short-term distributions, aiming to harness strategic opportunities for growth.
Core Strategic Focus Areas
Women’s Sports
Women's sports, especially football, present a compelling growth opportunity driven by increased participation, rising fan engagement, and growing corporate support. As more attention and investment are directed toward women's sports globally, there is in our opinion a substantial potential for capital appreciation through strategic investments in this segment. Importantly to note the focus on this code in this market is heavily driven by some major events that will take place over the next 4 years int e region of North and South America.
Men’s Football (Promotion-Relegation Leagues)
Men's football leagues that operate on a promotion-relegation system represent significant upside potential. Teams promoted to higher leagues experience substantial increases in club valuations due to heightened media rights, sponsorships, and revenue-sharing benefits.
Sports Technology
Sports technology is emerging as a key driver of innovation across the global sports ecosystem. The fund will look for sports tech companies offering solutions such as data analytics, performance enhancement tools, fan engagement platforms, and new digital broadcasting technologies.
Strategic Approaches
Passive Investment in Established Assets
One investment approach will involve a passive strategy targeting assets where the growth trajectory has already been established. These assets, primarily in well-developed markets, have historically experienced compounded growth, and the fund will seek to capitalize on the continued momentum in these areas.
Active Investment in Emerging Opportunities
A second approach will be focused on active investment in emerging or undervalued assets where strategic influence and management can drive significant upside potential.
Global Approach
While the fund’s primary focus will be on football and sports tech, it will remain open to exploring opportunities across other sports codes globally. The key is to identify undervalued assets with room for significant performance improvement or strategic repositioning.
