Port of Spain | August 26, 2026: As part of its commitment to empowering local talent on and off the field, the Trinidad and Tobago Unit Trust Corporation (UTC) hosted a specialized financial well-being session for players of the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) T20 cricket team on Tuesday, August 25, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency, Port of Spain.
The engaging session focused on equipping athletes with practical tools for long-term money management, investing, and wealth creation. Facilitated by UTC financial experts Dexter Sandy and Omar Holder, the interactive workshop relied on relatable sports analogies and real-life scenarios to demystify complex financial concepts. A central theme throughout the discussion emphasized that professional players possess a powerful asset in their favor: youth and time. By beginning their investment journeys early, players can leverage compound growth to construct a secure financial foundation that serves them long after their competitive playing days end.
Highlighting the strategic importance of early financial planning, TKR Manager Colin Borde encouraged his squad to take full advantage of UTC’s guidance.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet with financial experts who can help shape your future beyond cricket,” Borde stated. “Our skills are in the game; UTC’s skill is providing the right tools and financial advice to support you well beyond your sporting careers.”
Reinforcing the Corporation’s commitment to personal development, each player received a complimentary copy of UTC Chief Financial Officer Kerri Maharaj’s book, Financially Wise, Financially Strong, offering the team a step-by-step framework for personal wealth building.
After the main presentation, the event shifted to personalized, one-on-one consultation sessions, where UTC Business Development Officers met individually with players to answer questions and discuss personalized portfolio strategies.
Through initiatives like this, the Unit Trust Corporation continues to champion financial literacy, empowering individuals and athletes across Trinidad and Tobago to build lasting legacies and achieve long-term financial peace of mind.
