Why Teak Industry Needs To Be Your Top Choice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s an astute financial mind that uses the global commercial market to set the grounds for their continued financial growth instead of just their domestic markets. Ultimately, money, as the <\/span>universal equivalent<\/span><\/a>, is the path to living a better life and all successful individuals realize this one basic truth. My purpose really isn\u2019t to convince anyone to make more money, it\u2019s to present the idea that there\u2019s an entire world\u2019s worth of financial opportunities you can capitalize on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, there\u2019s another aspect to foreign investments beyond financial growth that people ignore\u2014moving your funds to offshore locations. There are more advantages of investing in offshore locations than I can count, the business opportunities are aplenty, tax rates are low and you might even get a second citizenship. I\u2019ll discuss some of the most advantageous investment opportunities that will help you make a fair bit of money.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Real Estate In Offshore Locations<\/b><\/h1>\n

There are two potential advantages of investing in offshore locations\u2014first, you might make a fair bit of money, and secondly, you might get a second passport too. With the <\/span>growth of global tourism<\/span>, there are plenty of countries around the world that are looking to develop tourism-specific real estate. Countries like Vanuatu and Cyprus have tourism sectors that are burgeoning with potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cyprus has one of the most robust real estate sectors in the world, working to help stimulate the development of tourism infrastructure in the country. In recent years, the state has allowed <\/span>more building permits<\/span><\/a> than ever before and most of these are for the construction of new hotels. Vanuatu, similarly, is hoping to <\/span>develop its tourism sector<\/span> to improve its economy in the aftermath of the cyclone Pam. The country receives tourists from both New Zealand and Australia, but now is becoming a preferred destination for tourists around the world. Real estate developers from around the Pacific are rushing to Vanuatu to help develop hotels and resorts that will be worth a lot of money in a few short years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best part about investing in either of these countries is the possibility of getting a second passport. Both Cyprus and Vanuatu offer investors citizenship’s in return for investing in the country\u2019s real estate infrastructure, so you get great profits and really strong passports to boot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Foreign Mutual Funds, Stocks And Commodities<\/b><\/h1>\n

There are plenty of international mutual funds and foreign stock markets that you can invest in to make a good return on investment. A lot of people also choose to mix up their portfolios to also include commodities and precious metals to <\/span>hedge against the risk of losses<\/span><\/a>. The economic theory stipulates a converse relation between stocks and commodities, because of risk-averse investor behaviour. In the event that stock markets crash, funds are moved to the commodities market to prevent money losses and the commodity markets rise in value. The rise in commodity values can offset the losses made in the stock market to keep you on even grounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, some foreign investment markets are easier to get into than others and are far more robust than domestic financial markets. Markets in developing economies like those in South America or Asia like India and China are some of the most vigorously growing financial markets in the world. You could ride the wave of growth of these nations to make a fair bit of money in the process. You should invest in foreign mutual funds and try to intersperse your investments with those in commodities to make more money than before. India presents a great investment opportunity especially since the government <\/span>slashed corporate taxes<\/span> down to 22%\u2014an attempt to attract greater foreign investment than before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teak As An Investment<\/b><\/h1>\n

A lot of people know about how gold and silver are highly valued and have been highly valued throughout history, but they don\u2019t know much about teak. Teak is a type of wood that grows on trees in coastal regions like India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Myanmar and recently in Nicaragua and Panama.<\/a>\u00a0 The wood is highly valued throughout the world, especially western civilization because of its durability and its rarity\u2014much of its demand is intact and still persistent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, instead of demand from the west, India, China and much of the south and east Asia demand Teak. Earlier in the decade, <\/span>Myanmar banned all teak exports<\/span><\/a> to the rest of the world in the midst of a real estate boom throughout Asia. Considering rising populations and the <\/span>growth in demand for real estate<\/span>, Asian teak demanded shifted to South America where countries like Panama, Paraguay, Nicaragua and some others now cater to much of worldwide teak demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Panama and Nicaragua have introduced citizenship by investment programs<\/a> that award investors with residency in return for investing in reforestation programs in the countries. Since these two countries are catering to both China and India, two of the largest economies in the world, there\u2019s a lot of profit potential in investing in teak plantations in Nicaragua and Panama. You should consider investing in teak because it\u2019s one of the safest commodity investments known to man. Gold and silver markets are less volatile but there\u2019s also little growth in these markets\u2014teak valuations, on the other hand, have been <\/span>increasing consistently<\/span><\/a> over the past few years.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/b><\/h1>\n

Financial managers and advisors rarely make a guarantee about high returns on any investment decision. Realistically, there are no investments that guarantee a great return and a profit. However, it takes some insight into global socio-political and economic currents before one can make an educated guess about what the best investments are. Considering population booms in Asia and the growth of global real estate markets, tropical hardwood; like teak, will always be a safe investment. These trends are bound to continue and considering the shift in teak supply from Asia to South America, investments in teak can bring you a lot of financial benefit and perhaps also second citizenship.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
