Real Estate Investments

Supporting the asset of choice for many wealthy families and investors worldwide

Commercial or residential real estate as an investment class, or as a family home, is as attractive as ever. Values often represent significant overall wealth, so having the appropriate structuring solution is vital.

Private companies are used worldwide as an effective means for the holding of a wide variety of assets and for managing risk however, their use can sometimes present difficulties. As non-financial assets that may not produce an investment return, some fiduciaries are reluctant to hold them in trust structures which makes a private company a more suitable vehicle.
