Centerbridge team members in our London office hosted a workshop focused on investing in a football club with students from Football Beyond Borders, the Foundation’s 2022 Partnership Grant recipient. It was a great event for all involved, and the attendees noted they felt more confident, improved their communication skills, and learned about new career opportunities available to them after the session.
Pitches, Teamwork and Goals ⚽📈 Three words that connect football and investments! Young people from our portfolio partner, Football Beyond Borders, visited Centerbridge Partners, L.P.’s London office to learn about the world of investments, network with experts and take part in a workshop themed around investing in a Football Club. A big thank you to Centerbridge's volunteers, who supported the young people in building an investment strategy – deciding where to invest their funds and calculating a return on investments - before listening to the pitches and providing feedback on their proposals. The session helped the group build their confidence and communication skills, with the young people particularly valuing the “advice the volunteers gave”, as well as “the hospitality, how the activities came together and how we all got involved.”
