Professional Athletes

The deferred compensation proceeds from a sports contract can become an immediate source of cash for the athlete or athletic organization, today rather than in the future, through the use of creative financing techniques. NDH Capital works with professional sports agents and advisors representing professional basketball players, baseball players, football players, and athletes in many other sports, helping put them in control of their own earning power sooner rather than later.

The benefit of these financial transactions is significant: a professional athlete suddenly has direct access to and control over significant portions of earnings due to be received over multiple years. These earnings can be used to satisfy immediate obligations, or can be used for investment purposes, potentially generating additional future income.

Professional athletes who are receiving deferred compensation proceeds resulting from a sports contract can receive a lump sum cash payment for some or all of their future payments. Athletes also frequently receive income for speaking engagements, promotions and advertising appearances. These contractually guaranteed payments can be used to advance lump sum payments in cash for some or all of the value of the contract.

NDH Capital can structure benefit payments on a non-recourse basis, so that the professional athlete receives and keeps the full benefit, regardless of what happens to their team, company or sponsor. Athletes can choose to monetize all or only a portion of their deferred compensation. NDH Capital can also introduce athletes to sophisticated investment managers who will help professional athletes diversify and safeguard their investments, minimizing risk while maximizing returns.
