La Trobe Financial backs NBL investment

One of the longest standing partnerships with the Hungry Jack’s National Basketball League (NBL) has been extended, with La Trobe Financial recommitting for another year.

La Trobe Financial has been key to the competition’s resurgence on the Australian, New Zealand and global sporting landscape.

“This is a truly significant and valued relationship that dates back to 2006, and we are proud to continue with La Trobe Financial,” NBL Chief Executive Officer, David Stevenson, said.

“Staying by the NBL’s side highlights the unwavering support, commitment and trust La Trobe Financial has in the League; these are all traits of La Trobe Financial and why it has stood the test of time for more than 70-years.

“The NBL’s growth has been well publicised, and La Trobe Financial has been there every step of the way. We look forward to further strengthening our fantastic relationship and we thank CEO, Chris Andrews, and the entire team for their wonderful support.”

“La Trobe Financial has been with us through each stage of our growth over the years. To have them beside us for another season will provide significant benefits for both organisations,” NBL Executive Chairman and Owner, Larry Kestelman, said.

“We look forward to what promises to be a successful season together.

La Trobe Financial is Australia’s leading Alternative Asset Manager, with $18 billion in assets under management.

La Trobe Financial CEO, Chris Andrews, expressed his excitement about the extended partnership.

"We are delighted to continue our association with the NBL, a league that shares our passion for bringing people together and it is this shared value that has been the foundation of our successful partnership,” Andrews said.

“As a company that has thrived for more than seven decades, La Trobe Financial is proud to support the NBL's growth and contribute to the success of basketball in Australia, New Zealand and globally. We express our gratitude to Larry Kestelman, David Stevenson, and the wider NBL team for their great achievement in growing the League to date and look forward to continuing this journey together.”

Since 1952, La Trobe Financial has been driven to help people realise their potential with specialist financing and investment solutions.

La Trobe Financial’s Credit Fund has consistently performed, remaining one of the most competitive in the market. The 12 Month Term Account has been recognised as the “Best Credit Fund – Mortgages” for 14 consecutive years by Money magazine and was named Australia’s fastest growing fund by Rainmaker for 12 months to 31 May 2023. 

The 2023/24 Hungry Jack’s NBL Season begins on Thursday, September 28, when Melbourne United hosts the South East Melbourne Phoenix at John Cain Arena.
