Insurance Solution
High Limit Disability Income Protection Draft-Eligible Athletes
After a player has been drafted into the NBA and enters a 4-year rookie contract, it is imperative they preserve the big payday contract and future earned income. Looking towards the future, an NBA player will want to purchase insurance to protect their "big money" pay day and for the super star players, they'll want to safeguard their endorsement deals as well. For those drafted into the NHL, the club owns the players rights during the contract period. After a rookie contract, the player is eligible for free agency and signs a long-term contract, the deal is fully guaranteed. However, until the athlete enters free agency, they are putting their body at risk every time they enter the ice. As Lloyd's of London Coverholders, Exceptional Risk Advisors can create income protection plans to equalize benefits for all of your affluent clients, not just rookie athletes. Our High Limit Disability Income policies are designed for high income earners such as CEOs, hedge fund managers, private equity professionals, technology experts, entertainers and draft-eligible athletes.
