Owning the Game: Institutional Capital and the New Playbook in Sports Investing (Invite only)

From minority stakes in European soccer giants to control deals in US franchises and emerging assets like cricket and motorsports, sports have rapidly evolved into a global institutional asset class. This conversation will examine whether today’s headline sports valuations reflect durable cash flows and structural scarcity—or a late-cycle search for yield—and how investors are underwriting returns across media rights, real estate, sponsorship, data, and IP. Participants will explore how alternative managers, family offices, and sovereign capital are reshaping ownership, governance, and fan engagement, as well as which investment structures best balance control and liquidity, how investors should assess risk, and whether sports franchises are truly emerging as a long-term asset class.
