Turks & Caicos Islands
 The total population of the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI) is about 36,604 (2017)
people. The two largest cities are Providenciales and Grand Turk.
 The TCI consist of 40 islands and cays, eight (8) of which are inhabited. The
islands are located approximately 600 miles southeast to Miami, Florida
and110 miles south of the Bahamas. Technically, the TCI is located in the
Atlantic Ocean, not the Caribbean Sea.
 TCI is on Atlantic Standard Time (Eastern Daylight Time) all year long. Clocks
are not turned back an hour in the fall, allowing residents and tourist to enjoy
later sunsets and an extra hour of sunshine during evenings over the winter
season.
 The average temperature in the TCI is 80-90℉ (26-32℃) from June-October.
From November-May the average is 80-84℉ (26-29℃).
 The TCI’s government operates under British Law as a British Crown Colony. A
governor is appointed by the Queen and presides over an executive council
formed by an elected local self-government. Government offices are located in
Grand Turk, with branches on other Islands as needed. The legal system is
based on English Common Law.
Turks & Caicos Economy
 Language: English
 The economy of the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI) relies on the tourism industry, real
estate development, importation of goods and the exportation of seafood.
 The TCI offers a wide variety of financial services, including establishment of
offshore companies, offshore insurance, banking, trusts, limited partnerships and
limited life companies.
 The TCI’s Financial Services Commission regulates, develops and promotes the
industry in major world markets.
 The TCI uses the United States currency (USD).
 The economy currently has one of the fastest growth rates in the Caribbean. The
GDP growth of 5.94% (2015), the TCI is projected to experience economic growth
of 4.4% in 2016.
 Providenciales is by far the most developed of the Turks & Caicos Islands. With
tremendous advances in infrastructure and services, and the real estate market has
changed from a speculative market to more of a lifestyle purchase.
Property Investments
 The real estate market in Turks & Caicos is very strong, with a steady
supply of high net worth buyers. But despite all the growth, TCI is still
underpriced compared to other top Caribbean islands, and offers
tremendous value to foreign investors.
 Since the upswing in quarter-four (Q4) 2011, real estate and development
has experienced a healthy cross-section increase of sales in each segment
of the market.
 The TCI has a favorable tax system and no limitations to foreign ownership
of property.
 No income taxes on revenue generated from property.
 No annual property taxes.
 No capital gains tax on sale of property.
 The Turks & Caicos has a modern land registry system, that makes
transferring of title simple and accurate.
Property Investments
 Vacation Homes: Many people are acquiring 2nd and 3rd homes to provide
portfolio diversification and to enjoy the property while capital
appreciates.
 Raw Land: Beach front, canal lots and view lots are currently available on
the market. Limited supply and steady demand has pushed prices up.
 Condominiums: There’s a wide selection of condos available from low
budget to high end luxury accommodations. Condos have seen an increase
of 18% in sales from 2015 to 2016.
 Villas: There are a wide range of villas rentals available for you, most with
panoramic views of TCI’s pristine waters and magical sunsets. Villas sales
(up 27%) has finished strong yet again in 2016.
 Affordable Options: An influx of migrant workers and limited supply of
affordable housing has driven rental yields upward.

range of borrowers who use the
money to buy and/or develop
properties.
 In return for investing your money
(your ‘capital’), the fund manager
promises to pay you a regular
income through cash distribution

$25,000 in 1996
into MMF as a
pension/savings
account. Without
any additional
subscriptions to
their account, as
of November
2016, the
account has a
balance of
$127,096.90.
The same
scenario is
compared if Jack
& Diane were to
invest that money
into a bank CD
for the same
amount of time.

Scenario: Jack &
Diane are happy
with their
investment. Apart
from their
Pension/Savings
account, they have a
grandchild now and
wanted to know how
long an investment
of $100,000.00 will
take to double.
Keeping the rate of
return constant, for
the example, it
would take about
12 years for Jack &
Diane’s investment
to double in value.
