Building Your Financial Team Roster: How to Navigate the New NIL Rule by Adding the Right Advisor to Your Team
08/06/21
A recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court has opened the door for amateur athletes to make money from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) for the first time. Athletes in both men’s and women’s sports have begun announcing deals in multiple arenas including creating NFT’s (non-fungible token), social media marketing, promoting local restaurant and gyms, and endorsing national brands. The financial opportunities will continue to grow as both companies and athletes navigate this new terrain. With these opportunities, however, comes a new responsibility for athletes that has not been part of the equation previously…”I can now make money, what should I do next?” The answer is to build a solid support system to help navigate your financial future. This starts with having a financial advisor as part of your team.
The burden of making big financial decisions is not something an athlete, or any person, should handle alone. A good advisor will be well-versed on most financial matters and can help the athlete navigate these tough decisions. In our opinion, the advisor should be independent—one that does not work for financial institution offering a limited menu of proprietary or brokered products and strategies—they can help the athlete find “best of breed” solutions no matter who provides them. Additionally, we believe that the advisor should be “fee only”—that’s a legal term that essentially means that the advisor does not accept commission on the products they recommend so they are objective and do not face obvious conflicts of interest in providing their advice. These items are of pivotal importance on the front end of an athlete’s earning career as building good habits (saving, controlling spending, investing, managing risks, planning for taxes, etc.) will propel them toward a better future. The advisor should collaborate with an athlete on these items and help them create a plan in conjunction with their goals to establish a strong financial foundation.
The truth is, not every athlete will become wealthy based on the NIL ruling alone. And, unfortunately, many that do may not invest in themselves with a long-term view in mind. Most athletes will have a second career after their athletic careers are completed. The ruling does, however, present a great opportunity to jump start an athlete’s financial future and open new network/career opportunities. Those that manage their money and opportunities wisely, will be in a better position to succeed. Having a good advisor to help along the way can make a big difference!

Homrich Berg Announces Minority Investment from an Affiliate of New Mountain Capital
ATLANTA and NEW YORK — July 30, 2021 — Homrich Berg is pleased to announce an investment from New Mountain Strategic Equity I, L.P., an affiliate of private equity firm New Mountain Capital (“New Mountain”), a growth-oriented investment firm with a demonstrated track record of partnering with leading founder-owned businesses. The investment helps the Atlanta-headquartered, $10 billion registered investment adviser (“RIA”) manage ownership succession and adds an experienced partner that allows Homrich Berg to add to its capabilities and talent as a leading RIA in the Southeast.
Homrich Berg co-founder and CEO Andy Berg is excited about this partnership which will allow the RIA to continue its growth trajectory while also maintaining independence and majority ownership of the firm. “More than 30 years ago I co-founded Homrich Berg with a belief in independent, objective, fee-only advice for our clients,” said Berg. “We have worked hard to ensure the long-term independence of Homrich Berg through the addition of many talented principals to broaden our ownership. As we look ahead to the next 30 years of independence, we look forward to collaborating with NMC in support of our strategic objectives.”
“The decision to pursue a minority investment was intentional. Many of our peer firms have recently sold to outside buyers,” said Homrich Berg president Thomas Carroll. “We have explicitly rejected that approach both now and looking ahead – all generations of our ownership are fully aligned in our commitment to on-going independence. While this event helps ensure a strong succession plan for the future, all of our current owners will still be owners post-closing and we are excited about the future working with New Mountain as our partner.”
Founded in 1989, Homrich Berg provides fee-only comprehensive investment advisory and financial planning services to high-net-worth individuals, families, multi-generation family offices, business owners, trusts, estates, and charitable organizations.
“We see an incredible opportunity for Homrich Berg to continue its strong growth and build on its leading presence in the Southeast. The firm’s commitment to clients is what attracted us to this investment partnership and we are energized to support the firm’s long-term strategic expansion,” said Bob Mulcare, Managing Director at New Mountain. “This is the fourth investment out of our debut Strategic Equity fund and we are looking forward to partnering with Andy and the team on an exciting new platform.”
Homrich Berg was advised by the Asset & Wealth Management Investment Banking team of Raymond James Financial, Inc. and Alston & Bird LLP. New Mountain Capital was advised by Ropes & Gray LLP and DeVoe & Co.
