New website helps ordinary investors beat the credit crunch with alternative SIPP compliant investments previously only available to high net worth individuals
The property market has fallen by 11% in the last year, shares in some of the country's largest companies have fallen to a fraction of their value 2 years ago and a savings account offers around just 6% pa. Should we all just give up or is there anything investors can do to achieve a good return on their hard earned money?
The-Investor-Portal.com is a new website that researches and reviews alternative investment opportunities that many people will not have heard about. The likely returns from these investments far exceed those you could expect from traditional investments or savings.
Of course, one’s immediate reaction is likely to be that the higher the reward, the higher the risk must be… but that is not necessarily true.
Whilst some of the opportunities the-investor-portal.com offers are indeed high risk/high return, the site has also sourced some alternative investment vehicles that have very healthy returns, whilst also having the benefit of being very secure.
For example they offer a number of innovative securitised investment opportunities to provide mezzanine finance for large scale building projects. These not only produce a fixed return of up to 30% a year (depending on level of investment) but are secured against specific plots of land and are sufficiently stable to be recognised by pension providers.
These investments can now in fact be purchased via SIPPs, making them extremely tax efficient. Many investors have already taken advantage of this.
Frazer Fearnhead, founder of the-investor-portal.com states that “many people are reluctant to invest in property at this time; however, these securitised investments should not be considered as property investments per se. Whilst the underlying security for the investment may be land or property, these are strictly paper investments with defined exit strategies (usually 12 months from the time of investment). They provide fixed returns of up to 30% a year and there is no need to worry about falling prices or having to find a buyer or tenant for a property as the way the investment is structured means the developer bears this risk. Investors are paid out as a first call on profits.”
He adds, “investors’ funds are used to provide mezzanine finance for our partners’ luxury hotel and residential developments in the UK and abroad. Previously these types of investment were only available to high net worth individuals, but we have now managed to find developers who are willing to make this type of investment open to all investors.”
