Abstract

The study set out to address the effect of poor long term financial performance of athletes in Elgeyo Marakwet County. The purpose of the study was to assess effect of investment skills on long term financial performance of Kenyan athletes of Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya. The objective was to establish levels of influence of investment skills on long term financial performance of athletes. The study was carried out in Elgeyo Marakwet County which is one of the 47 Counties of Kenya. In regard to establishing levels of influence of investment skills on long term financial performance of athletes in Elgeyo Marakwet County, the study established that 63% did not have savings accounts, thus revealing a poor saving culture against those who had savings accounts at 37% respectively. The study also revealed that majority of the respondents at 62% did not have retirement accounts against only 38% who had retirement accounts. The government, both County and National should ensure favorable policy based conditions and regulations to ensure athletes invest locally for posterity and sustainability. Furthermore, the government should encourage investment advisory extension services across the community.
