Emerging Markets Attract the Shrewd Investors

A report just released by Standard Life, displays how emerging markets have overtaken many established ones, as the safest place to make investments. Among the emerging markets mentioned Brazil is Standard Life's favourite, having just invested heavily in the country themselves.

Brazil was quoted as a safe place to invest because, its production of grain and other basic materials, combined with the low cost of said materials, has led to the country benefiting massively from the major emerging markets like China and India, who are importing massive amounts of basic materials to sustain their own economic growth. Russia, Africa and other Latin American countries also got a mention in the report.

Liam Bailey, Head of International Research was wholly in agreement with the report:

"This report is good for the property investment industry, especially those, who, like us focus on the strengths of emerging markets. I myself have many times drawn attention to the fact that many emerging markets have the potential to survive a global slowdown, because business will increasingly move their operations into cheaper locations, import their goods from cheaper places, and tourists will start to look out for places where they can holiday cheaply."

"Brazil ticks all those boxes," continued Bailey, "but Brazil is not the only country that is, and will continue to benefit from the changing global economy. Albania, Montenegro, the Philippines, Cambodia, Costa Rica and Panama as well as the Thai islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, are the emerging markets we are focussing on, because for us, their affordable attractiveness to businesses, and/or tourists puts them in prime position to not only survive the global slowdown, but continue to see substantial growth."

David Stanley Redfern Ltd have property in all the locations mentioned above, including some very affordable properties with finance in Koh Samui, Brazil land-plots from under £7000, and Brazil apartments from under £20,000.
