Invest money in favorite soccer teams

For many years, shares of truly original values, and unimaginable in other times, can be subscribed. But of course the ones that draw the attention of the public are the football teams of the old continent. Because indeed, many of them are listed on equity marketsespecially Europeans. If you are passionate about this beautiful sport, from now on you can also make the savings profitable with your favorite clubs.

Although if your intention is to concentrate the investment in Real Madrid, Fútbol Club Barcelona or another national squad, at the moment you will not have the opportunity to exercise it. None of them are present in any stock market, and you will have to be content with some of the most famous of international football. Of course you will not miss proposals, with clubs from other European leagues. And as a consequence of this, you can score the next goal yourself and make your personal assets profitable through this very particular investment.

If in spite of everything you are really interested in this form of investment you should start to know how their operations are channeled through the markets. And especially in which football teams you can deposit your savings, since not everyone contemplates this possibility. It will also be advisable for you to know which financial markets to address, and ultimately the characteristics of this particular investment, and at the same time original. Not surprisingly, this activity has ceased to be just a sport, to become a business, even for its shareholders.

Absence of Spanish football

Surely you are thinking of taking positions in one of the Spanish league clubs, especially the most famous ones. Well, unfortunately it cannot be, because none of them - for the moment - are listed on the equity markets. Neither the big ones nor the small ones, since have opted for a different business management model, which in no case happens to be listed on the stock market.

In any case, you should not be frustrated in your intentions because the offer that is presented to you is very wide, although to formalize it you will have no choice but to go outside our borders.

In any case, it will mean that they are no longer only a vehicle to enjoy this sport, not even to see the sporting adventures of the great stars who compete every week for their teams to achieve the maximum possible titles. From now on you will be able to earn a lot of money with football, although be very careful, because the risks are also enormous and you will lose many euros along the way.

Of course, if you want to capitalize on the skills of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Griezmann or another star in the Spanish league will not have the opportunity to do so at this time. You will have to be content with other players of recognized prestige, but who play in other leagues. Opportunities, on the other hand, will not be lacking in any case, although for this you must abandon the colors of your favorite team.

With your own stock index

You may not know it, but the truth is that European football clubs have their own reference index, which includes all of them. Quoting regularly every day, as if it were a conventional security. Currently several of the most famous of the old continent are integrated into Stoxx Europe Football. It is the benchmark stock index that encompasses 22 of the most important teams on the old continent.

Among them you can find names with such history and great prestige such as Roma, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, Sporting de Lisboa, Bronby, Galasataray, Celtic, Tottenham and Olimpique Lyonnais. Do they sound familiar to you? Well if so, you will no longer have excuses to bet on them. But not from a betting platform as you have been doing until now. But from the same stock exchange floors, with the same commissions and mechanics in operations as in your usual investments, without any difference. Except in the result that you can obtain in the positions taken.

It works as if it were another stock index, exactly the same, and where the only difference is the reasons why their titles move. Although it is not a new proposal, it has been in the markets for almost ten years, integrating - yes - a greater number of clubs to form a powerful investment proposal. Intended for any investor profile, without exclusions, and without the need to know anything about football.

Its evolution in the markets

However, it will not be a bargain if you take positions (buy shares) in some of these stocks. Not in vain, During the past fiscal year, its shares fell 1%. Behaving worse than the main European benchmarks (with capital gains around 7% on average). Although from a positive point of view, with a significantly better performance than the Spanish stock market, which generated more pronounced losses in this period, at 6%.

This unique equity index, on the other hand, has developed a downward sideways movement over the past three years that led its shares to depreciate almost 3%. Against the general trend of the markets, whose balance was highly satisfactory in this period.

With annual returns of more than 10%, even higher as in the case of the German stock market. These data support the idea that it is not an investment, nor worse or better than the rest, but simply different, that is governed by other strategic approaches or behaviors in the markets.

In any case, if you want to invest part of your assets in some of these soccer teams, you will have to learn certain things so as not to get any negative surprises during the next few months. To start with, what do not depend so much on good business results. But rather the signing of a great star, who is greeted with large revaluations in its price. Or by the achievement of a title, or the classification in some competition of certain relevance.

And on the contrary, the injury of its stars, or the elimination in a great competition can be received by the markets with significant depreciations in the value of their shares. It is something that you can check little by little, to finally realize that you are facing very particular actions, which require learning in their operations in the markets.

Ten keys of these values

One of the most common mistakes that small and medium investments make, as it may be in your case, is to govern their operations as if it were another security. And this is not really the case, if you want to channel the investment correctly, and avoid surprises. The very nature of these companies endows them with very defined characteristics that you should keep in mind if you want to invest your savings in the coming months.

In fact, the price of its shares is free, and regardless of the evolution of traditional equity indices, as you can see. Not surprisingly, they can develop a strong downtrend, and instead the benchmark of this mass sport greets its shareholders with pleasant, and even unexpected gains. It is something that you will have to get used to if it is your desire to operate with these values.

1. Your quotes, in any case, reflect the sporting successes of sports clubs listed on the equity markets. But not only, but also signings, injuries, dismissals, etc. Their activity will largely determine the evolution of their prices.
2. They are highly liquid securities, although they move considerably less money in the markets than companies with traditional lines of business, often moving on impulse. And even without a logic about the general trend of the financial markets.
3. They are very volatile, excessively, and any news serves for their prices to rise or fall with great virulence. With a large difference between its maximum and minimum prices, even in the same trading session.
4. They are not followed en masse by the large international brokers, and therefore their coverage does not reach investors interested in these sports stocks with any ease. In fact are not followed by large investment groups.
5. Their greatest activity takes place on the days when they play a competition, traded in the markets many thousands of titles. Especially if the end result is highly eye-catching. Even with rises or falls of up to two digits.
6. Not because you are a great fan of that football team, you should take positions in the stock market, but this decision will be as a result of an analysis on the evolution of its prices. At the end of the day it is you who is gambling the money, and they are not worth sentimentality in the world of money.
7. If you want to invest your savings, you will have no choice but to leave our borders to make these special requirements come true. Especially in the British market, which is where more titles move.
8. These clubs, and generally, they do not usually distribute dividends among their shareholders, so you will have to look for other incentives to make the operation profitable.
9. These are not highly recommended values ​​for medium and long-term periods due to their own characteristics. Conversely, It is in the shorter operations where you can get much more profitable from your operations.
10. Most of the clubs included in the index they will be recognizable if you are a big fan of this sport. In any case, what you will never find are second level squads, or even lower leagues.
