The Global Investor, our financial newsletter


Firstly, Happy New Year to all our clients and readers old and new around the globe. I do believe that 2003 will be "more equitable" for most of us, but the correct positioning of your investments will be crucial...

What do you require this year, is it capital protection and/or protected growth for your money or perhaps low unit/stock prices with short, medium or long-term growth potential, going "short or long" in the markets. Well, we all want one or more of the above or perhaps a combination of them all. This is why Global Investments has been here for the last nine years, offering independent offshore financial advice to Expatriates living and working in foreign lands. Below are two funds that offer very different Investment strategies.but you do need to contact us to find out more!

We will also update you monthly in 2003, regarding The Premier Diversified Property Fund, recently launched within the UK commercial property market sector (see also our Newsletter from December 2002).


MONTHLY FUND PERFORMANCE REPORT
JANUARY 2003

Overview
As is usual for the time of the year, completion activity in the property market was subdued last month and is expected to pick up once more as the New Year holiday ends. Indeed, the Directors have been working closely with the Property Advisers to identify key target properties all of which will represent excellent value if offers are accepted. Announcements regarding purchases are expected in next months report.


Elsewhere in the property market, the UK's leading commercial property index - Investment Property Databank (IPD) - announced that the full-year figures for all commercial property showed a total return of +10.4% as at the end of November 2002. This figure compares favorably with equities and gilts although it does not indicate overheating in the commercial property sector - as opposed to the residential sector, which is a different asset proposition entirely.

The Premier Diversified Property Fund
The ideal property investment for the discerning investor

With the continued emphasis on good quality properties let to
high quality tenants on longer term, FRI leases, the Directors and their property advisers are confident of achieving positive returns for investors within the target range of 8-10% for 2003. December performance shows positive growth for the final month of the year as detailed here below.
