“Sport is an interesting asset class. It drives much of the related media and entertainment industries, with increasing cross-over to younger generations and significant demand especially in Asia. We see sport, and its adjacent sectors, as a way to tap into the emerging product market fit of growing global leisure and pastime expenditure, especially in emerging markets.

The opportunity to invest in Y11, a sport & media investment platform based in Asia was a first mover for us as a fund. Investing in sport is large and vast but comes with risk without the right expertise.

We at Navis have invested in James (the Founder and CEO) and the Y11 team to grow the existing portfolio, identify new opportunities and become a success across for all stakeholders involved. Their values mirror our own; teamwork, tenacity, integrity and innovation."
