Wealth management for careers that peak early

Athletes, dancers and performers earn a lifetime of income inside a decade. We build the plan that has to carry the sixty years after it.

Why we exist

Designed for people whose earning years arrive all at once.

Most advice assumes forty years of steady salary. Almost none of it survives a career that pays everything up front and then stops — which is the only kind of career we plan for.

A published advisory fee of 0.55%, and nothing paid to us by anyone else

One named adviser who stays with you past the final contract

Answers inside one working day, in season and out of it

Fig. 1 — Earnings vs. obligation

The window is short. The money isn’t.

A composite client, plotted from age 20 to 85. The peak lasts about a decade. The obligation underneath it never stops.

Earning window

Spending it must cover

Average pro career

Every year after the last cheque clears is funded by the ones before it.

No commissions, no hidden costs

What it costs, next to what it usually costs

We are a fiduciary. One published fee, paid by you, disclosed before you sign anything — not buried in a document nobody reads.

Her earning window closed the day the cycle ended. We moved the bulk of it out of a single endorsement position in scheduled tranches, ahead of the tax year it landed in.

Instead of one lump sum against one tax year, we paired the payout schedule to his contract’s guaranteed years, with the floor invested the day it cleared.
