opportunity for
South African
Investment
When it comes to offshore investments, knowing your
long-term goal will make all the difference on how to go
about it. South Africans can plan for their retirement by
owning a property in another country. It’s time to start
thinking outside of the box and realise the opportunities
that await you outside of South Africa. There are many
sceptics regarding the state of the economy with the
current economic climate and therefore, more and more
people are considering acquiring a second citizenship in
another country.
This Offshore Guide delves into the ‘how-to’ and ‘cost
much?’ for various countries offering second passports.
At the end of the day, it’s got to be beneficial to both the
investor and the participating country. In addition to
acquiring property, we investigate the alternative routes
to generating capital with Real Estate Investment Trusts
(REIT) and the advantages that follow.
Our Brexit article weighs up the key arguments for
staying or leaving the EU. This informative write-up aims
to lay down the facts, encouraging you to make up your
own mind on whether it’s a good or bad idea during this
time of economic uncertainty. How will it affect investor
confidence and therefore, the housing market in Britain?
Only time will tell.

For the business owner and entrepreneur, a lot of
the time ‘thinking big’ means taking your enterprise
worldwide and few people realise that Ireland is a viable
option. If beautiful historic architecture is what you’re
after (and you have a good sum of money sitting in the
bank), Malta offers a citizen by investment programme
that will leave you feeling as if you’re on a permanent
holiday.
Either way, opportunities abroad for investors are
plenty, it’s a matter of determining what matters most
to you as the investor.
Happy global investing!

The very best investment you
can make is one that “you can’t
beat,” can’t be taxed and not
even inflation can take away
from you. Ultimately, there’s one
investment that supersedes all
others: Invest in yourself.
