December 5, 2023, New York, NY – ۶Ƶ today announced that it has been named an Institutional Financial Advisor of the NFL Players Association (“NFLPA”), the official union of professional football players in the National Football League.

“Having ۶Ƶ join the NFLPA’s institutional financial advisor program is a huge win for our union’s player members,” said Dana Shuler, senior director of the NFLPA’s Player Affairs department. “Through its Athletes and Entertainers segment, ۶Ƶ has a proven track record of helping high-profile clients successfully navigate their unique financial landscape.”

“We are thrilled the NFL Players Association has selected ۶Ƶ to work with their members,” said Jason Chandler, Head Global Wealth Management Americas at ۶Ƶ. “This program helps us continue to build on the work we do supporting current and former football players, providing the financial guidance they need to tackle the unique challenges of life in the NFL and planning for their future.”

Notes to Editors

About the NFL Players Association

The National Football League Players Association is the union for professional football players in the National Football League. Established in 1956, the NFLPA has a long history of assuring proper recognition and representation of players’ interests. The NFLPA has shown that it will do whatever is necessary to assure that the rights of players are protected—including ceasing to be a union, if necessary, as it did in 1989. In 1993, the NFLPA again was officially recognized as the union representing the players and negotiated a landmark Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL. The current CBA will govern the sport through the 2030 NFL season. Learn more at www.nflpa.com.
