PRLog -- American investors look outside the U.S. to manage risk yet capture yield while the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates near zero. Options to diversify have been slim as foreign REITs and ETFs give investors little control and foreign direct investments are expensive and time consuming. Recently however, a new door has opened: crowdfunding. With the JOBS Act in full force, investors can now use crowdfunding to diversify their assets and capitalize on international markets. According to Vulcan Investments Global President, Kal von Gal, “The JOBS Act opens the door to opportunities once only available to the extremely wealthy. Now through the power of collective buying, qualified investors can participate in international real estate opportunities with as little as $10,000”.
Historically, globally diversified portfolios dominate domestic-only ones on the efficient frontier. Compared to a domestic-only portfolio, a global portfolio should earn a higher return for the same level of risk and take less risk for the same level of return.
Vulcan Investments Global provides investors an opportunity through collective buying to participate in a wide variety of global real estate projects. Projects undergo a strict vetting process beginning with country specific factors such as economic stability and legal protection to foreign investors, down to the project specific details and its ability to create and maintain investor wealth.
