The NFLPA should partner up with and recommend a low cost shop(s) like Vanguard/Fido and have a robo advisor index them.
I will guarantee that over time, 97 out of 100 players that did that would out-perform the guys who try to start businesses and invest with hedge funds.
They should, but they won't...I figure it's a sort of crony "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" between agents and the advisors...Probably some nice kickback money in there as well...After all, a good portion of the jobs in our economy nowadays are these Financial Advisors that live off of the percentages...Sure, the robo advisor could do the job, but once again we're talking about another sector of the F.I.R.E. economy that would be eliminated.
