Property funds provide an alternative way to invest in properties throughout the World and are ideal for clients requiring:
- More sophisticated investment options
- In some respects greater risk, but potentially higher returns
- Higher levels of diversity and liquidity
- Pension fund investment
- Freedom from being tied to bricks and mortar.
This latter point is particularly relevant – often individuals consider investment into property means owning a commercial or residential property. In itself this can bring greater risk:
Ultimately it is only an investment if:
- There is potential for capital growth
- Good rental income to cover costs
- Clear re-sale market in order to realize the asset when needed
SIPS helps clients to invest in property funds and specific investment opportunities by advantageously accessing specialist Fund and Investment opportunities. Investments can be arranged in UK and global markets, for a variety of opportunities: land and developments; residential buildings; leisure and sports complexes; commercial and retail sites; and business premises.Often such investments are constructed using Closed Ended Property Portfolios and Protected Cell Companies. They provide opportunities to invest in large scale property developments to which the individual may not normally have access.In many instances such investments qualify for Pension Fund investment (SIPP and SSAS) and are also available to “Sophisticated Investors” or “High Net Worth Individuals” defined by the Financial Services and Markets Act (Financial Promotion) Order 2001. For those who require financial advice we have relationships with suitable advisers who know and understand the funds and will give independent advice to suit an individual’s personal circumstances.
The value of these investments can decrease as well as increase and changes in currency exchange rates can also affect funds invested in overseas markets.
