Practice Areas
MAJOR LEAGUE LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
A significant area of focus for Whitecap Sports Group is limited partnership (LP) interests in major
league sports franchises. Unlike sports ownership/private equity funds, WSG provides prospective
investors with access to direct equity interests in major league teams and sell side services to
existing team owners who hold minority/LP interests and are seeking to divest. WSG will assist team
owners in achieving current fair market value for their ownership stake, and for prospective
investors, we offer opportunities where they have full autonomy over the market, acquisition price,
holding period and exit strategy.
TEAM (SELLER) ADVISORY SERVICES
Working with team owners to assist in positioning their asset (full, majority, or minority/LP equity
interest) for potential sale. WSG's process starts with a valuation analysis and assessment of fair
market value done by our internal investment banking associates, and continues through market
research, buyer procurement, negotiation, contract, and approval stage(s).
INVESTOR (BUYER) ADVISORY SERVICES
Buy side representation is an appropriate option in cases where general criteria is determined, and
WSG associates are needed to proactively uncover opportunities on behalf of a prospective buyer.
This work can be done across all major and minor leagues, and in most geographic territories. This
process leverages long standing relationships, our in-house research analysts, and not only unlocks
opportunities for team acquisition and ownership, but assists throughout the offer, negotiation,
contract and approval stages.
CAPITAL RAISE SERVICES
WSG is able to offer consulting and advisory services that are outside traditional team ownership
acquisition parameters and better aligned with new or growing sports related ventures that require
additional capital through private investment, or ongoing, stable ventures that are looking to position
for an exit strategy.
VALUATION ANALYSIS
Not sure if you are ready to test the market? WSG can assist with a brief or detailed analysis of

current assessment as to fair market value.
