Bahamas Ranks High on World’s Super Wealthy Investment List
Posted on May 2, 2016For the world’s wealthy, the pinnacle of achievement is to own what is exclusive and rare, so an island property is a must. Based on a report by Candy & Candy, Savills World Research and Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management, the Bahamas has claimed the second spot in a new list of the world’s top 20 islands for ultra-high net worth individuals (UNHWI) real estate investment.
“A private island is the ultimate trophy asset,” says Nicholas Candy, CEO, Candy & Candy. “But financial return is not the primary motivation. These buyers are seeking the ultimate hideaway and a chance to shape their own world. For them, the qualities “remote” and “private” are priceless.”
Beginning 50 miles off the coast of Florida, the Bahamas are a breathtaking chain of gold-and-pink beaches, stately palms and a lush world of tropical foliage. Awash in year-round sunshine, the Bahamas are a great destination for snorkeling, diving, and boating as well as the perfect setting for pure relaxation and renewal. With that being said, they also provide some fantastic investment opportunities. It’s a paradise that lures in the world’s elite.
Bermuda in the North Atlantic and the Channel Islands in Europe also topped the list.
