Indexing/Benchmarking Athlete Value

Due to the sports markets not being accessible to the public, there has been a lack of universally agreed-upon metrics that accurately pin the economic relationship between athletics and the greater economy.

We believe that athletic value is heavily expressive of market conditions. As the velocity in player transfers increases, capital flows do so alongside it as well, inherently showing health. If organizations are not willing to shuffle their team compositions, tightening budgets can be observed in their operations. Thus, the healthier the trend of athlete transference, the more likely it is that external circumstances would either match or totally diverge. In the event of a divergence (when the economies of nations struggle, but the sports market performance increases) we would establish a hedge/economic sector that would be decoupled from external sensitivity and act more in line with the sovereign asset thesis.

By pegging the state of the sports market to the ACMn and layering it over the world of macro-finance, new data patterns will be deduced that will be of immense value for the entire value chain of sports (and beyond).

The total economic externalities, with the presence of such a market existing, is a net benefit to society. The gamified nature of the ACMn is a positive reflexive feedback loop whereby more athletes become willing participants (as it innately improves their prominence), clubs would be able to diffuse their risks (while athletes have massive potential return ratios, they also are not always guaranteed professional achievement), and fans/the public would be able gain access to novel new assets that further diversify their capital sources, as well as, providing them with a sector that would encourage participation.
