Greenshield’s Game-Changing Financial Solutions
A prime example is during UEFA competition qualifications, which are extremely complex. Clubs must navigate multiple qualification rounds—up to five—to secure a spot in a league phase. The process involves various factors, such as whether a team is seeded or unseeded, which is determined by their UEFA five-year club coefficient. Additionally, if a club advances or is eliminated in a round, they may inherit the coefficient of their last opponent, depending on the outcome of the match. Regional drawing groups and potential rebalancing further complicate the qualification process. To navigate these complexities, Greenshield has developed an innovative, in-house proprietary algorithm that calculates the probability of sporting outcomes before the draw even takes place and applies an individual club specific risk discount to the offered swap price, ensuring fair terms for clubs. Thus, Greenshield can provide a tailored solution to swap a portion of the potential prize money for a risk-adjusted secured income before the draw or in special situations during the qualification. This arrangement guarantees income without further obligations if your club doesn’t qualify, while part of the prize money goes to Greenshield if your club does.
