Patrick Kerney

Hi, I'm Patrick Kerney. Welcome to my profile!

---

After retiring from an 11 year NFL career and receiving his MBA from Columbia University, Patrick Kerney set his sights on athletes and their finances. After forming a consultancy to perform financial presentations and portfolio reviews for aspiring, current and former NFL players, the NFL office brought him on in the role of Vice President, Player Benefits.  This role provided him the opportunity to oversee the investment of NFL player retirement assets, benefit communications, financial literacy and Player Engagement operational oversight. After a short but productive stay at the NFL office, he joined NFC Investments, his personal asset manager since 2006, to place the assets of current and former professional athletes side by side with his own.

In this role, Mr. Kerney focuses on client acquisition and relationship development. In keeping with his passion for financial literacy, transparency and alignment, this role demands he ensures that all who invest through NFC Investments have a thorough understanding of purpose behind investment decisions and have a clear understanding of every investment cost incurred. Perhaps his greatest differentiation is the client relationship he has had with NFC Investments, who has managed ~90% of his personal assets since June, 2006. Clients can rest assured that their assets do not go anywhere he does not place his own.
