MELBOURNE, Australia - Oct. 6, 2017 - PRLog -- After sponsoring the 2016/2017 NBL Finals Series, La Trobe Financial will work with the NBL to grow basketball throughout Australia.
La Trobe Financial branding will be prominently displayed on NBL courts for the next three seasons, starting with the NBL's 40th season in 2017-18, which will begin on October 5.
NBL Chief Executive Jeremy Loeliger said: "The NBL is proud to have entered into this Major Partnership with La Trobe Financial, Australia's leading non-bank credit specialist and funds manager."
"For 65 years, La Trobe Financial has proven its commitment to its clients by providing a range of quality financial services. Its dedication to growing its customer base throughout Australia and Asia is closely aligned with that of the NBL, so both parties share much in common from a strategic perspective."
Caterina Nesci, La Trobe Financial's Head of Communications & PR said: "La Trobe Financial has been involved in sponsoring basketball for over four decades with our CEO Greg O'Neill being a former Chairman of the Melbourne Tigers Men's NBL team between 2006-2009, and is the current Chairman of the Australian Basketball Players Association.
"We have been closely watching the progress of the NBL over the last few years and we have been very impressed with the big steps they've taken. They have really brought basketball back to the forefront in Australia".
Chris Andrews, La Trobe Financial's Chief Investment Officer said: "La Trobe Financial takes this major partnership very seriously. Our 65 years of history has taught us that the highest quality partners build the strongest relationships. That is the approach that we take to our institutional and retail investment mandates and it is a key reason why none of our institutional or pooled account investors have ever lost a cent of capital or interest – a track record few can match.
"We are looking forward to building another close partnership with the NBL and are particularly impressed with the NBL's strategic outlook towards Asia, a key growth area for our own business."
