What athletes think
Don’t take our word for it – here’s why your fellow athletes train their financial muscles:
"Understanding money and our monetary system is not trendy and interesting for most people. But in my opinion, it is essential if we want to make the future better."

"If I could gain some support on how best to invest and how to look after my money this would be most helpful."

"Investing is something that would be great to know about, especially as a career and money in sport can end at an early age. It would be great to know how best to invest now so that I can be set up for when I retire from sport!"

Allianz is one of the world's leading insurers and asset managers and gives people the confidence to move forward in life. We’re also one of the world’s largest sports sponsors with a strong track record of supporting the next generation of sports professionals. The MoveNow program, which involves an annual youth camp with the FC Bayern team, is a good example. Another is the annual Allianz FC Bayern Team Presentation which enables young fans to get a closer glimpse of their football idols.
While we offer a range of financial products and services, there is no pressure or obligation to buy from us.

We plan to expand the program to other sports (with a focus on Olympic and Paralympic disciplines) and, in the long term, to other areas of society such as arts and culture.
We‘ll also continue to expand our digital financial training on our website.
We want to make it easier for women to access the financial know-how needed to get to where they want to be in life.
Our recently published study showed financial barriers are still the main reason women do not pursue their dream job. In our study of 6,000 female professionals in Germany, the UK and the U.S., 62% of women who didn't pursue their dream career said, money was one of the barriers that kept them from trying.
When it comes to women’s athletic ambitions, these are also influenced by finance – 27% of respondents said they would have liked to become professional athletes, and 41% felt that female athletes are held back because they don't earn as much as their male colleagues.
