When you start your playing career, your earnings could increase significantly in a short space of time. It is important that you manage this wealth effectively, so you can maintain a good quality of life now, while also preparing for the future.
You will eventually retire from playing, and having a robust plan in place means you can manage this transition and look ahead to your second career without worrying about your finances.
As you may know if you have worked with us, the right financial planner can help you take all the necessary steps to achieve your dream lifestyle now and in the future.
You might know other rugby players or friends and family who could benefit from our expertise, too. However, they may be apprehensive about taking your recommendations.
Fortunately, the VouchedFor platform allows clients to review financial professionals. The feedback we receive may give you more confidence to recommend us to friends and family who might need support.

VouchedFor is the leading site for financial adviser reviews in the UK
If you know somebody who is looking for a financial professional, you might recommend us to them. However, they may need more reassurance before deciding to trust us to manage their wealth.
VouchedFor is an excellent place for them to start. The site collates client reviews for thousands of individuals, with detailed testimony about the solutions they provide.
Each professional is given a rating out of five, so your loved ones can see how effectively advisers have helped their clients.
DBL Asset Management currently has a VouchedFor rating of 4.9 out of 5.
The in-depth reviews that clients provide also give more detail about the specific kinds of people we support. This means your friends and family can be sure that we are the right firm for them and our services are suited to their unique situation.
Crucially, VouchedFor independently vets all the advisers and reviews, so potential clients can be confident that the information is reliable.
VouchedFor also publishes a “Top Rated” guide each year, listing the highest-rated financial professionals across the country.
DBL Asset Management was featured for the second time in the latest version of the guide, demonstrating that we are leaders in our field and can provide the vital support those close to you need.
Positive reviews from VouchedFor can help your friends and family avoid scams
While there are many reliable financial advisers out there, it is important to be aware of scams. Unfortunately, professional sportspeople, who often have a high income at a young age, are prime targets for criminals.
In 2024, the Citizen’s Advice Bureau reported that 2.5 million people were affected by investment scams in the past year, and another 2.5 million fell victim to a pension scam.
If you are recommending that friends or family work with an adviser, they may rightly be concerned about the potential for scams.
Fortunately, our high standing on VouchedFor offers reassurance and shows that we are a legitimate financial advice firm.

This article is for general information only and does not constitute advice. The information is aimed at retail clients only.
All information is correct at the time of writing and is subject to change in the future.
A pension is a long-term investment not normally accessible until 55 (57 from April 2028). The fund value may fluctuate and can go down, which would have an impact on the level of pension benefits available. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
The tax implications of pension withdrawals will be based on your individual circumstances. Thresholds, percentage rates, and tax legislation may change in subsequent Finance Acts.
The value of your investments (and any income from them) can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount you invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Investments should be considered over the longer term and should fit in with your overall attitude to risk and financial circumstances.
