NOTES on today's meetup:
We had guests from the U.K. who mentioned that they were international financial advisers. We also had a returning guest talk about investments outside the Metro Manila.
1. Unique HK Pension Fund structure will allow you to purchase more real estate (or other assets) plus grant capital protection
The conversation got technical. But basically, Steve and Neil from U.K. discussed these financial structures that will enable you to purchase more assets and protect them from adverse events. This could be ideal for individuals and corporates with large asset holdings. For those with small ones, collaboration with multiple small investors may allow you to take advantage of unique benefits.
All I can say further was it was an exciting talk. Manila REI members will hear more about the specifics soon.
2. Locations outside Metro Manila, particularly Central Luzon, offers structured investments that offer superior returns
Arranged transactions and development projects exist outside the metro, with lower competition. Barriers to entry can be surmounted with proper relationship building and local expertise. Once the foundation is laid, liquidity and returns can be attained easier.
Partnerships and collaborations are open to selected and vetted Manila REI members
Comments are very welcome, especially for the first item. I'm not familiar with HK jurisdiction so I'm not sure I understood everything they said correctly. I confirmed the gist of it though.
