Become an International Investor for as little as 100 Euros

By David I. Rumsey, 3D Global

 

There was a time when international investment was only for the wealthy. But such is the growth of international fund management that, with as little as 100 Euros per month, you could invest alongside the world’s wealthiest individuals.

Fund Management groups such as Barings, Merrill Lynch, F&C, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Invesco, Investec, JP Morgan, M&G, Morgan Stanley, Morley, New Star, Thames River Capital and WIOF have made investment accessible to us all. These companies manage trillions of euros throughout the world in assets such as property (commercial and residential), stocks (blue chips and emerging economies), hedge funds, bonds and precious metals.

The Barings Group, for example, was set up in 1762 so knows a thing or two about investing. They have an Eastern European stock fund which has grown by 164% in the past 3 years. If this is a little too adventurous, how about the global property market? As many people know, property is booming in many countries with average growth in the past few years of 70%. Fidelity – recognised as the world’s leader in investment management – has just launched a new a global property fund.

In addition to traditional investments such as stocks, bonds and property, there is an increasing demand for more specialist areas such as energy, precious metals and ‘Ethical’ Investments. The Objective of Ethical funds is to produce capital growth by investing in  companies that make  a positive contribution to society whilst avoiding  those that can cause harm.

Friends Provident International – a FTSE 100 company – has brought together these world class fund managers to offer a wide choice of assets to the individual investor. All of these investments and fund managers can be accessed through Friends Provident International products – the UltimaSave and the UltimaBond.

The UltimaSave is a regular savings plan that starts at 100 Euros per month. The plan can be used for retirement, school fees, mortgage repayment or general savings. And if you are paying income tax in Cyprus and would like to make use of your tax allowances, the UltimaSave can be made tax-deductible. Many Cyprus residents of different nationality are taking advantage of their tax deductions to build up capital for the future.

The UltimaBond is a single investment starting at Euros 20,000.

In each case, up to 10 different funds can be chosen (from over 60). The funds can be changed free of charge at any time.

These products are only available through 3D Global (the Cyprus-based international financial services group). For more information on these products and 3D’s free online reporting service, contact us on [email protected] or 25 82 82 92.

Investors should be aware that past performance is no guarantee of future returns and that funds can go down as well as up.
