Invest money in favorite soccer teams

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

Even if your intention is to concentrate the investment in Real Madrid, Fútbol Club Barcelona or another national team, at the moment you will not have the possibility to exercise it. None of them are present in any stock market, and you will have to settle for some of the most famous in international football. Anyway you will not miss proposals, with clubs from other European leagues. And as a result, you can set the next goal yourself and make your personal assets profitable through this very particular investment.

If in spite of everything you are truly interested in this investment dynamic you should start to know how their operations are channeled through the markets. And especially in which soccer teams you can deposit your savings, since not everyone considers this opportunity. It will also be recommended that you know which financial markets to go to and, ultimately, the characteristics of this investment in particular, and at the same time original. Not surprisingly, this type of 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, at the moment, are listed on the stock markets. Neither the big nor the small, since have opted for a different business management model, which in no case is listed on the Stock Market.

Whatever the case, you should not be frustrated in your intentions because the offer that is presented to you is very wide, even though to formalize it you will have no choice but to leave our borders.

Whatever the case, it will mean that they are no longer just a vehicle to enjoy this sport, or even to see the sporting adventures of the great stars who compete every week for their teams to obtain the maximum possible titles. From now on you will be able to earn a lot of money with football, even if you are very careful, because the risks are also enormous and you will lose many euros along the way.

Anyway, if you want to capitalize on the skills of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Griezzman or another star of the Spanish league will not have the possibility to do so at this time. You will have to settle for other players of recognized status, but who play in other leagues. The possibilities, on the other hand, will not be lacking in any case, even when 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 benchmark, which includes them all. Trading normally every day, as if it were a conventional security. Today 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 of such history and great status such as Roma, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Bronby, Galasataray, Celtic, Tottenham and Olimpique Lyonnais. Sound familiar? Well if so, you will no longer have excuses to bet on them. But not from a betting platform as you have been doing so far. But from the very floors of the stock market, with the same commissions and mechanics in operations as in your usual investments, without any difference. Except in the result that you can achieve in the positions taken.

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

Its evolution in the markets

However, it won't be a bargain if you take positions (buy shares) in some of these stocks. Not in vain, Over the past fiscal year, its shares fell 1%. Performance worse than the main European benchmarks (with capital gains around 7% on average). Even though from a positive point of view, with a significantly better performance than that of the Spanish Stock Market, which generated more pronounced losses in this period, of the 6%.

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

With annual returns higher than 10%, even higher as in the case of the German stock market. These data support the idea that it is not an investment, neither worse nor better than the rest, but basically different, that is governed by other strategic approaches or behaviors in the markets.

Whatever the case, if you are looking to invest part of your assets in one of these soccer teams, you should learn certain things so as not to get negative surprises in the coming months. To begin with, what do not depend so much on good business results. But rather the signing of a great star, which is received with great revaluations in its price. Or by obtaining a title, or classification in some important competition.

And on the contrary, the loss 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 made by small and medium-sized investments, as it may be in your case, is to carry out their operations as if it were another value. And this is not really the case, if you are looking to channel the investment correctly and avoid surprises. The very nature of these companies gives them very defined characteristics that you have to take into account if you are looking to invest your savings in the coming months.

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