FINVIA Sports expands portfolio: exclusive sports investment in North American professional leagues

‍Frankfurtam Main, 04.03.2024 - Following investments via Aliya Capital Partners and Score Capital, multi-family office FINVIA is opening the door to a third investment opportunity in the globally expanding sports industry, further driving the progress of FINVIA Sports.

The exclusive sports investment is aimed at (semi-)professional investors with a minimum subscription amount of 250,000 US dollars. Through FINVIA ASP II GmbH & Co. KG, FINVIA's clients gain indirect access to investments in growth-oriented sports franchises and related strategic business activities, particularly clubs in the top North American sports leagues. These include the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL), Major League Baseball (MLB), Major League Soccer (MLS) and Formula 1.

The US sports industry has been experiencing continuous growth for years and enjoys new sales records every year. This is also due to the increasing international popularity of American cult sports. Thanks to steadily growing relevance and popularity, more than 40 US clubs were among the 50 most valuable sports clubs and franchises in the world in 2023 (source: Forbes). US franchises in particular offer an attractive investment opportunity, as the teams have strong, predictable and recurring cash flows due to broadly distributed league revenues, high income from TV and marketing rights and ticketing. This is where FINVIA Sports comes in.

"With this new investment opportunity, FINVIA Sports is once again demonstrating its innovative positioning in the market and allowing private investors to participate in the constantly growing sports business in Europe and the USA. There has never been such broad access to well-known brands and franchises in the sports sector for non-institutional investors with this level of professionalism in Germany. We stand by our approach of making sport investable," says Mathias Jauch, co-founder and CEO of FINVIA Sports.
