2. Where is your money now?
• Most people utilise high street options
– Savings Accounts
– ISA’s
– Bonds
• Low risk, but low returns
• Typically 1% to 3%
‘How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy
by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case.’
Robert G.Allen
4. • A total downward trend in value
• Requires specialist knowledge of markets
• Decisions being made on your behalf
• Lack of control or visibility with what happens to your
money
• Alternative investments increasingly popular
So what are the alternatives?
Stock & Shares
5. The alternatives
• Alternative investments can deliver much higher returns
• Lots of options – but tend to be specialist and niche
• Property stands out as the obvious choice for most people
– stick to what you know!
‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.’
Benjamin Franklin

Touristic properties combine residential and
commercial – an ideal option.
What type of property?
8. • It’s a freehold property investment
• Prime beach-front land
• Occupancy driven by tourism, not reliant on one long
term tenant
