What we do
Brick Top Equity Group is a company focused on distressed and emerging opportunities in the digital sports media sectors. Our selection and search criteria are based on experience and the target company or business prime for either acquisition or integration into our own roll up strategy.
We are of the belief as a company that content and investment into undervalued sports networks including European Soccer and Formula 1 will continue to be sectors where global investment will flow due to the attractive valuations available.
Our goal is to make strategic alliances and acquisitions for our group that result in a profitable exit or dividends.
Why we do it
When we created Brick Top Equity Group we created a company based on our deep investing fundamentals with a world-class relationship base across global sport, media, and entertainment brands. The result is a platform that gives the company the freedom to go and make alliances with best of breed opportunities in our desired sectors.
Additionally, the high increase of broadcast rights over the last five to ten years has created a further appetite for investment in sports. Combined with the fluctuations in the currency markets, we see increased capital coming into the space at a higher rate.
Industry Overview
A look into sport financing
Over the last few years we have seen increased investment into European Soccer clubs specifically with funds from the Middle East and American Investors. The weakened pound and euro against the dollar make it likely that we will see this trend continue.
Fifteen investments in clubs across the ‘big five’ leagues took place in 2021, more than in 2019 and 2020 combined. The vast majority (87%) of investments were made by high-net-worth individuals and private equity firms, with more than two-thirds of investments being made from the US. Those numbers continued to increase in 2022.
Formula 1, on the other hand, now has 5 races in the Americas with the latest editions in Miami and Las Vegas already being placed alongside Monaco in terms of prestige. With many of the teams and engineering based in the UK and Europe a similar opportunity exists to invest in teams, tracks, and media content at a reduced rate based on the currency fluctuations and valuations in general.
