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!

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 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.
