​The Athlete Investor Summit is proud to announce Evelyn Partners as its Official Partner and Official Wealth Management Partner for the 2025 edition of the summit. Evelyn Partners, one of the UK’s leading wealth managers with £62 billion in client assets under management, is deepening its support of athlete-driven initiatives by partnering with one of the UK’s fastest-growing sports business events.


The Athlete Investor Summit brings together elite athletes, representatives, venture capitalists, investors, business leaders and entrepreneurs to explore how athletes can invest smartly, grow their personal brands, and create generational wealth. The mission is to educate, connect and empower athletes at all stages and levels about entrepreneurship and early-stage investing through unique events.



Adam Osper, Managing Partner at Evelyn Partners, said:“As the UK’s leading adviser to sports professionals on their financial affairs and investments, we are delighted to become the official partner and wealth management partner of the Athlete Investor Summit. This year’s summit is set to be a fantastic event, bringing together leading athletes, agents, investors and entrepreneurs to discuss the key issues facing professional athletes and the exciting opportunities available to them.


At Evelyn Partners, we remain committed to educating athletes on how to manage their money during their time competing in elite sport and long after they retire. Part of that journey involves exposing them to the increasingly popular alternative investment space and empowering them to become investors and entrepreneurs themselves, a move that can form a key part of their retirement strategy as they transition from competitive athlete to a new life beyond sport”.


Paul Musa, Founder of the Athlete Investor Summit, commented:“Evelyn Partners bring credibility, industry-leading insights and in-depth know-how to what we are building with the Athlete Investor Summit with our events and passion for education. Our organisations share a deep commitment to helping and educating athletes and their teams as well as founders and entrepreneurs seeking to get athletes on the cap table. We share similar networks and are deeply aligned on the same mission”.


About Athlete Investor Summit 2025

The Athlete Investor Summit will be held on 3rd July 2025 in London, and promises to be the premier event for athletes interested in the intersection of capital, entrepreneurship, and purpose.
