Evelyn Partners has partnered with the Netball Super League to help close the advice gap for women and equip elite female athletes with the skills to build careers beyond sport.
As part of the three-year partnership, Evelyn Partners will leverage the partnership to empower female athletes with the knowledge and skills needed to secure their financial futures, supporting the wealth manager’s broader mission to close the advice gap for women.
This will be delivered through a two-pronged approach. First, Evelyn Partners will offer financial education workshops designed to help professional netballers manage their earnings effectively.
This is particularly important because male athletes increasingly get financial advice to secure their earnings. Therefore, Evelyn Partners is committed to helping female athletes do the same as they transition to the next stage of their careers.
Second, Evelyn Partners aims to increase the number of women in wealth management by tapping into the NSL’s female talent pool. This approach seeks to create a pipeline of women equipped with the competitive and strategic skills needed for a career in financial services.
These two strategies aim to expand career opportunities for women after they leave elite sport and help close the gap between male and female athletes’ retirement outcomes.
The partnership with the Netball Super League reflects Evelyn Partners’ belief in sport’s transformative power. To further inspire and engage women working and competing in the sector, the brand will soon announce two additional sports partnerships with organisations focused on closing the advice gap for women.
Andrew Middleton, chief marketing and commercial officer at Evelyn Partners, said: “Our passion is to help inspire our clients to embrace what’s next. Given the UK’s significant wealth advice gap for women, we’re delighted to be working with the Netball Super League to shine a light on this issue and look forward to sharing news of two further partnerships with other like-minded sports organisations where this issue is front and centre.”
