Evelyn Partners has announced that it has become the first official wealth management partner of Saracens rugby club.
Under the three-year partnership with the London-based club, Evelyn will provide a bespoke financial education and coaching programme for Saracens’ professional male and female players.
Under the Evelyn Partners Player Pathway Programme, players will learn why wealth management can be a logical next step for a post-rugby career.
By including both male and female players Evelyn is hoping to steer more women into the profession. It is aiming to level the financial standing between former male and female players and boost the number of female financial planners and investment managers in the sector.
Andrew Middleton, chief marketing and commercial officer, said: “Saracens is such a natural partner for us. It’s a club that is constantly looking forward, driving performance, whilst at the same time conscious of the opportunity the club has to accelerate societal change.
“Through this partnership, Evelyn Partners will provide financial education and coaching to both men’s and women’s teams, helping players consider life beyond rugby. With equal focus on both teams, this partnership gives us another platform to highlight and address the female wealth advice gap. We’re also excited to be able to open up unique, behind the scenes experiences for our clients to shine a light on life within an elite sporting environment.”
Mike Leslie, chief growth officer at Saracens, added: “We are thrilled to announce a new multi-year partnership with Evelyn Partners. Evelyn Partners shares Saracens’ vision for leading the change in rugby and pushing the boundaries of what is possible, on-the-pitch and off the pitch. As we prepare for a new era in the sport, we are incredibly excited to be partnering with such an impressive business that shares our values and long-term ambitions.”
Evelyn has offices across 25 towns and cities in the UK, as well as the Republic of Ireland and the Channel Islands.
