Professional Athletes

It’s not about how much you make, it’s about how much you keep.

Think about the long run. Your professional athletic career is temporary. We will help you to achieve your long term financial goals and invest your earnings in a strategic way that aligns with those dreams long beyond your playing career.

Becoming a professional athlete is by far the hardest part, congrats! You are the .01% of all athletes that had a dream to be at the top of their game and you have made that dream a reality. Going from a college student or straight out of high school to a professional athlete presents new challenges such as sudden wealth, taxes, mortgages, investment decisions, insurance, and money management.

Too often we hear stories of athletes who had everything and lost it all due to the wrong purchasing decisions and impulsive investment strategies. Don’t be a statistic that can be added to this story. As an athlete his entire life and while working at Nike, Cam has seen these cases and has made a commitment and mission to help athletes invest their hard earned money wisely and with precision.

Financial Team

As an athlete you need a financial team in place that you trust and can rely on. This team consists of: Attorneys, CPAs, and at the center a Financial Adviser. The Financial adviser is the quarterback that leads the drive and not only advises you on how to invest your money but one that also has experience working with unique circumstances of professional athlete clients. Not every financial adviser understands how to manage sudden wealth, prize money in different countries, uneven cash flows, deals with short and long term disability, may have to retire at a young age, and has to pivot to a new career path. Cam and his team realize that Professional athletes have extremely unique financial needs. Working with professional athletes requires a fully comprehensive approach which encompasses the overall financial position of the client, not just their investments. As an athlete you strive to be the best. In order to be at your highest level you hire the best coaches, trainers, dietitians. You should have the same mentality when it comes to your wealth planning. Hire the financial adviser that will do whatever it takes to help you achieve your financial goals.

Why hire Cam Ahari and his team?

As a former athlete Cam’s competitive nature drives him in the pursuit of perfection. Cam puts his clients first over all other matters and will be there for them through the good times and the bad. Cam has been focused throughout his career at being the best at what he does. A trait that you both have in common. Growing up in humble beginnings and seeing an immigrant father and mother build wealth over time through hard work and perseverance, Cam saw the amount of obsession and dedication that it takes to be successful. Cam will help manage more than just your investments. He will become your family office by helping you take care of business outside of your sport so you can focus your time and attention on what you do best.
