"We believe we are seeing the emergence of a new asset class in sports capital and we are looking to plant an early stake in the ground. We believe we have arrived at the right balance of sports industry and asset management experience." David Gibson, CEO, Athlon CIF Athlon CIF is a global sports fund specialising in investment in global sports organisations. The fund is an investment vehicle founded and operated by capital market and sports management professionals with an extensive network, substantial industry knowledge and a proven track record for delivering success. We are at the forefront of a new sports asset class – offering investors access at a unique entry point to attractive, exciting and sustainable investments into professional sports clubs and digital assets across multiple continents and market cycles. Sport is the ultimate entrée to a variety of global business networks. Ownership in a well-managed professional club or sports business provides kudos, excitement and a rewarding ROI. Athlon CIF has created a fund dedicated to purchasing organisations and intellectual property in critical markets. The fund will look to capitalise on inherent asset price inefficiencies within an emerging new asset class. We will identify the opportunity, negotiate the ownership/rights and then oversee the business and club operations. The fund will identify professional football/soccer organisations seeking financial capital or in need of private and professional management.
