Investments in the Sports Arena

Sports franchises have emerged as a new asset class. In recent years, sports franchise values have continued to increase dramatically. This increase, combined with growing investor demand to get into the game, has resulted in substantial investment in this sector. While once only accessible to the uber wealthy, many major sports leagues and their member teams across the globe are opening their doors to investment from financial sponsors and institutional investors, minting sports franchises as a growing asset class in the process.
