Milestone
In both sports and traditional Real Assets, the underlying property is monetized via contracted revenue streams. Many sports platforms also own their own real estate footprint – combining both intangible & tangible Real Assets exposure.
We cultivate our cross-border relationships to ensure that our partners and clients obtain maximum benefit and value.
We have an extensive network within International Sports Federations, National Governing Bodies, and commerce. More broadly, this allows MRM Sport Capital to bring together all the necessary stakeholders for success.
We invest into businesses and add value by helping management achieve transformational change.

Market Analysis
The global sports analytics market is projected to grow from $2.22 billion in 2022 to $12.60 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 28.1% in forecast period, 2022- 2029. Multi–club ownership is an obvious trend in European football, as a combined 20 clubs from Serie A, Ligue 1 and La Liga are part of this structure.
Football clubs being (fully or partially) owned by an Investment Fund / Private Equity firms is also an increasingly popular ownership model. Football is one of the most attractive targets for hedge funds and private equity corporations that are interested in alternative investments.
Industry professionals agree that it will be the dominant model looking towards 2025. The changing sports dynamics and innovation are likely to fuel sports analysis and the market during the forecast period. These solutions offer MRM Sport Capital the ability to aid organizations, management and athletes in enhancing strategy and performance for stakeholders.
Moreover, the incorporation (and the innovation inspiration of MRM Sport Capital) of technology in sport is set to create profitable opportunities in the market.
