Property Strategy Reboot - SMART Expo Provides New Perspective
Online, August 29, 2012 (Newswire.com) - These are just some of the important issues that will be addressed during the SMART Investment and International Property Expo, held between 8 -9 September, 2012 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Hall A, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
As we draw towards the final quarter of 2012 many Singaporean investors are taking stock of the financial and property markets. Traditionally it's a good time for the reassessment of wealth strategy. International property remains as popular as ever for investors.

Luxury Nikki Beach Hotel and Spa Phuket by Castlewood Group, the expo provides outstanding variety to suit buyer's need. For those on their first step onto the property ladder, affordable options include 3 year U.S. housing bond, where the investor gets full money back after 3 years, but generates a 15% return on their money, for a minimum investment of only £10k sterling.

Amongst the experts showcasing their path to success are self made millionaires, bestselling authors and strategists. The knowledge journey begins with Alfred Chia, CEO, Singcapital Pte Ltd., who will offer guidance to help investors to map out their financial strategy for a secure future. From this springboard investors will have dozens of seminar topics to choose from during the 2-day event. Property enthusiasts will be able to gain a balance view of the local, regional and the global property markets. Many investors will visit the SMART Expo and walk away with a broad understand of the impact of macro and micro factors that directly affects investment decisions. But most are eager to witness highly successful entrepreneurs' gut instincts as to where the current property market is headed and hopefully tap into where the next hot property investments are.
Topics not to be missed include "Asian Property market -where is it headed?" presented by
James Sundram, senior VP, PropertyGuru Group; "common pitfalls in selecting commercial real estate for investment," Roy Chong, head of Business Space, Propnex Realty Pte Ltd; and "how to invest and make millions in the global property market," by Patrick Liew, CEO, HSR Global Ltd. Other renowned speakers include Wendy Kwek, director, WK Investment Network Pte Ltd., Prof. Seow Eng Ong from the Department of Real Estate, National University of Singapore and Sigrid Zialcita, managing director, Asia Pacific Research, Cushman & Wakefield, their respective talks are on investment property strategy, REITs and overview of Singapore's property market.
For feel good factor, Paul Freer, co-founder and director of Alquity Group Ltd. shows there is more to success then just money. Freer's talk is an interesting paradox as he illustrates how money can still be made without the Gordon Gekko's Wall Street mentality. The growing global phenomena of Socially Responsible Investments is going to be one of the most illuminating and will give investors a whole lot of reasons to feel better about themselves.
Destiny or luck you decide, or better still create your own luck.
