Nicholas Beddis
Nicholas Beddis
Founder

Nicholas Beddis founded AGS Capital Global to give professional athletes what the industry around them has never provided: a single, accountable view of their wellbeing, their decisions and their wealth.

A former Newport County academy player, he spent over a decade in real estate private equity and structured finance, working with family offices, sovereign entities and institutional investors across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He has led capital formation strategies of more than £500m and remains connected to over $1bn in asset exposure.

AGS combines that institutional discipline with clinical behavioural science and enterprise technology. The firm is headquartered in London and is building its first international programme in the United States.
