Use in the Sports World

While index funds aren’t a “sports-specific” concept, they are one of the smartest tools used by athletes looking to protect and build wealth outside of their playing career.

They’re commonly recommended by wealth managers, financial advisors, and CPAs due to their ease of access, stability, and historic performance (~8% annual return on average).

Why Index Funds Matter

Athletes earn the majority of their wealth in a short window, and many come from backgrounds with limited financial literacy.

Index funds offer

  • A passive investment model.
  • Compounding returns over time.
  • Reduced fees compared to active funds or managed portfolios.
  • Built-in diversification, which spreads risk and limits exposure.
