Game, set and cash to Edberg
Tuesday, 04 July 2017 16:26
from The Daily Mail ![]() Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg was a rivalry that lit up the tennis world. In three consecutive Wimbledon finals they both fought for the greatest prize. Despite being set for life, Becker was recently declared bankrupt. Edberg, however, has been busy building a second fortune since retiring. All in all, the two stars met 35 times between 1984 and 1996. Although Becker won the majority of their matches (25-10), Edberg prevailed in three of their four Grand Slam meetings. And, as the two men clocked up six major singles titles each, they amassed fortunes. In on-court winnings alone, Becker earned £20million, Edberg £15m. Despite being set up for life, Becker was recently declared bankrupt for owing more than £3million to a private bank, Arbuthnot Latham. It is an undignified situation for a man who won Wimbledon as an unseeded 17-year-old in 1985 — the youngest man to claim the title. Read more... Add new comment Hits: 3562

![]() «I didn’t really lose much money»
Monday, 17 October 2011 09:56
from Spiegel.de
How did it happen that you got from a tennis player to a financial professional? Edberg: As a professional tennis player you earn lots of money within a short time. I earned about 20 million dollars in my 13 years of professional career. During my active time I ceded the investment of my fortune to other people. Especially as a young player you only concentrate on your sport. You practice, eat and sleep, nothing more. But I was always interested in finances. After the end of my career I decided to care alone for it. I started to inform myself, read financial pages in the internet. I wanted to find out which ways there are to invest money. Have you ever gambled away? Edberg: I didn’t really lose much money. I’m cautious with investing. But since the dot-com bubble – where I had invested much in stocks – I believe in diversification. In the current crisis this works quite well. How do you invest your money? Edberg: I live in Växjö on an own farm with forested area where I lease the fields. I have also bought apartment buildings nearby. I invested much money in corporate bonds, especially from Sweden. In the current international debt crisis I feel more comfortable to give my money to a good Swedish bank instead of investing in consoles. Read more... Add new comment Hits: 1638

from Sunday Times ![]() Fame and fortune. Stefan Edberg talks to Alexandra Goss. The former world No1 is applying his winning attitude to fund management. STEFAN EDBERG is a former world number one tennis player who has now set out to dominate the fund management industry. In a professional tennis career spanning 13 years, Edberg, who is Swedish, won six Grand Slam singles titles and three Grand Slam men’s doubles titles. Apart from John McEnroe, he is the only player to have been ranked number one in both singles and doubles. By the time he retired from the professional circuit in 1996, Edberg, 45, had netted himself more than $20m (£12m) in prize money. A desire to take control of his winnings led him to set up Case Asset Management in Stockholm in 2004, along with former hedge fund managers Bo Pettersson and Fredrik Svensson. The company launched its Safe Play fund in January, which invests in Nordic corporate bonds, an area in which it became heavily involved during the financial crisis. Edberg lives in Vaxjo, southern Sweden, with wife Annette, 45, and their children Emilie, 17, and Christopher, 14. Read more... Comments (2) Hits: 24280
