The value of an investment may go down as well as up and the investor may not get back the amount invested. There will be no recognised market for the investment and it may, therefore, be difficult for the investor to deal in the investment or to get reliable information about its value or the extent of risks faced. The availability and amount of any tax relief may change and any person making an investment should seek independent advice on their own tax position.

Eurocape III - Open Now For Investment

Profit With Security

Eurocape III is the third investment fund in a successful series. Eurocape uses the funds raised to make loans to property developers in South Africa and the EU and has been successfully doing so for 2 years. Any loans are secured on the assets being developed and a typical rate of 1.5% per month is obtained. this enables a return of 9.85% p.a. to be paid to investors. Whilst maintaining its security, Eurocape is negotiating a share of the development profits, which should allow for a bonus return to be paid to investors at the end of the 5 year term of the Fund. Including this bonus, the Fund is targetting an overall return of 16% p.a.

Residential Ventures - Open Now For Investment

Invest To Let

The Residential Ventures Fund has been launched to take advantage of the emerging distressed residential market in the UK and the start of a new housing cycle. The fund strategy is designed to allow the fund toprofit from an economic slowdown or recession. The current economic climate of tighter lending criteria and interest rates and negative economic sentiment is leading to major distress amongst certain sectors of the UK Residential Market. The Distressed UK Residential Market encompasses a wide-range of highly-leveraged players, including Property Developers, First-Time Buyers and Buy-to-Let Landlords. The fund philosophy is based on historic evidence, that in times of great economic upheaval, opportunities arise to acquire assets at prices well below their true market value. These assets, when held over the medium term, will typically produce superior returns for investors.

The underlying principles of the fund’s defensive growth strategy are:

Retain a cash position, as the market deteriorates, until attractive residential investments become available.
Identify and acquire residential properties when they meet “high discount to actual underlying value” criteria.
Let and manage into a rising residential rental market, which includes key workers and students.
Replace current holdings only when better opportunities emerge.
Sell individual properties when their value is no longer distressed and little future growth is anticipated.
