Former Israeli national team goalkeeper Ariel Harush, who retired from football about six months ago, has embarked on a new career in the financial sector. Harush revealed his plans to manage hundreds of millions of dollars and establish a leading investment fund, aiming for greater success than he experienced in his football career.
Harush explained his transition into the capital markets was prompted by observing his bank lose significant money on his investments, leading him to realize the importance of understanding financial decisions. During the COVID-19 pandemic while in the Netherlands, he explored the stock market as an alternative to football, taking a course to learn about the field.
Reflecting on his football career, Harush noted that many players, particularly from his generation and earlier, earned substantial sums but ended up with nothing. He observed a positive trend in younger players showing more financial awareness, though he cautioned against excessive spending on luxury goods and gambling, citing his own experiences and those of his peers.
Harush advised young footballers to prioritize saving money and to always consider their post-football careers, warning that injuries can abruptly end a playing career. He stressed the importance of continuous learning and avoiding complacency, as early financial success can be disorienting without proper guidance.
His vision for his new venture, Equity Veil, is to become a prominent fund investing internationally, potentially launching a second fund abroad to attract global investors. Harush expressed a strong desire to overcome the obstacles he faced in football and achieve significant breakthroughs in the business world.
