- New client segment brings refreshed approach to the unique and
complex financial needs of successful entertainers and professional
athletes in the Americas
- Collaborating with UBS’s Financial Advisors across the US, the
segment will support the needs of current and prospective athlete
and entertainer clients
UBS Global Wealth Management today announced the launch of the
Athletes and Entertainers Strategic Client Segment, a group formed
to provide holistic financial advice and guidance to clients across
sports and entertainment industries.
The segment will be led by professional football veteran Adewale
(“Wale”) Ogunleye, who following his football career, pursued his
passion for business. He earned an MBA from George Washington
University and joined UBS in 2019 as the Head of Sports and
Entertainment at UBS Global Wealth Management.
The Athletes and Entertainers Strategic Client Segment will work
in close collaboration with UBS Financial Advisors, who have long
been advising and supporting athletes and entertainers on their
financial plans. Wale’s insight and experience on and off the field
will help shape the segment’s overarching strategy, which will
address and support the unique needs of individuals across both
industries.
“I joined UBS to create a sports and entertainment business that
educates and speaks to our clients in an authentic and relatable
manner,” said Wale Ogunleye. “Far too often we see stories of
athletes and entertainers making poorly guided financial decisions,
which leads to a loss of personal wealth and trust in those who can
provide sound financial advice and guidance. Our main priority is
to change that narrative and help athletes and entertainers build a
path to long-lasting financial success.”
Within the segment, Wale and UBS Financial Advisors will work
hand-in-hand with some of sports and entertainment’s most prominent
figures to drive awareness of the importance of financial literacy
and wealth management, utilizing UBS Wealth Way to develop a
financial plan to maintain their current lifestyle, to prepare for
their future and to leave a legacy that matters and can change the
world.
“At UBS, we are always adapting to the needs and wants of
current and prospective clients relative to today’s financial
landscape and societal shifts,” said Jane Schwartzberg, Head of
Strategic Client Segments at UBS Global Wealth Management. “Wale’s
real-life experience in professional sports and knowledge of the
wealth management industry combined with our leading platform
creates a competitive and dynamic offering that will provide our
clients with the opportunity to build generational wealth.”
