This morning on BBC Five Live radio the hot topic of conversation was money flooding back into investment funds, as investors flee the derisory 0.5% interest rates currently paid on bank deposits.



“Private investors are piling back into investment funds according to figures from the Investment Management Association.” is the synopsis.

The programme also reaffirms what DSR have been saying for some time - equities are a leading indicator of the property market. Interestingly the IMA representative said that the new trend was not to focus on the UK alone, but that major interest is being shown in growth opportunities worldwide.



When the property market belatedly wakes up to the record surge in equities that has taken place in the past quarter – 3 months in which the UK housing market price has grown by a mere 0.9% according to Halifax – DSR expects a similar rush into overseas property investment. In fact they are beginning to see this now in the areas they have identified as being the new emerging hot spots in the world.



DSR Asset Management Ltd say they are poised to be in exactly the right place and right time – offering investors the opportunity to acquire quality real estate in prime global locations just as demand for global returns explodes.



“Asset management is not just about acquiring rare high value beach or city property in Australia, Cambodia , Thailand and other growth areas,” said DSR’s David Redfern.



“The investment vehicles available include full management of overseas property to generate strong rental yields. Such an arrangement not only produces an ongoing return on investment, it also pays for maintenance and upkeep of the property, and means that security issues are not a concern. In addition, having a property in use throughout the year makes good use of scarce resources and is energy efficient,” he added



In effect, making a considered investment in overseas property with rental income – a de-luxe buy-to-let – need require no more hassle than investing in a fund. The underlying aims are the same – capital growth and income – and with an established leading firm like DSR Asset Management Ltd taking care of the legal and financial concerns that come with investing abroad, selecting the best managers and investment opportunities for you, the ‘front end’ for the investor need be no more time-consuming or problematic.



Of course there are differences with fund investment too – with property your capital asset is allocated to you, not pooled, and should you require to sell the property in the future there is likely to be a time lag while it is advertised.

But there are also massive advantages over the standard buy-to-let schemes so popular in the UK over the past decade. You will never have problematic sitting tenants but only holiday guests, the property will maintained for you in pristine condition, and of course you can enjoy your asset to the full while on vacation.



Rental income comes with a guarantee in many cases, a barometer of the resort management’s confidence in the rental market, since low occupancy would put a strain on their profits. In a sense, when it comes to rental income, investors enter into a profit sharing scheme, usually set at 50:50 or 60:40 in their favour, a powerful incentive towards excellent returns.

DSR Asset Management Ltd has a select international portfolio of properties in some of the best regions around the globe for growth, income and quality of life.  Speak to Martin Foster on 0115 871 4594 or visit the DSR website for further details.
