NTL Trust - Micro Ownership Maximum Gain - The Future of Real Estate Investment
NTL Trust - Micro Ownership Maximum Gain: The Future of Real Estate Investment
Real estate has long served as a symbol of wealth, status, and stability. From grand castles to luxurious condos, property ownership has historically defined one's social standing and prestige. However, in today's increasingly globalized and fast-paced world, the concept of real estate ownership is undergoing a profound transformation. Settling down in one location no longer holds the same significance for the affluent as it once did.
The future of real estate investment and ownership is shaped by the evolving lifestyles of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) who lead jet-setting lives, conducting business across multiple continents. Unlike in the past, where one predominant location sufficed, modern wealth presentation emphasizes global mobility and the ability to seamlessly transition between various destinations.
Imagine being a high-net-worth individual whose business ventures span the globe, necessitating frequent stays in different regions. In such scenarios, owning property becomes preferable to relying on hotels or rentals. Here citizenship by investment programs, particularly prevalent in the tropical havens of the Caribbean, play a key role. According to NTL Trust, an expert in the field, these programs offer HNWIs the opportunity to acquire citizenship through investment, granting access to desirable winter destinations and facilitating connectivity with North and South America.
Moreover, many Caribbean jurisdictions, including Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts and Nevis, offer innovative real estate investment options tailored to future trends. Partial ownership of commercial properties, coupled with citizenship perks, provides HNWIs with access to luxurious resorts and concierge services. This partial ownership model allows individuals to customize their stays, transforming temporary accommodations into personal hubs.
How does it work? Through citizenship by investment, investors gain not only a second citizenship but also the freedom to reside in their chosen destination for extended periods. This freedom from visa restrictions and residency limitations enables individuals to enjoy a lifestyle characterized by flexibility and variety. The future of real estate ownership lies in this newfound mobility—a lifestyle where one can call multiple places "home" without the constraints of permanence.
The shift in luxury values from settling down to limitless living reflects a broader trend towards non-attached ownership and transient lifestyles. As high-net-worth individuals prioritize freedom and flexibility, the traditional notions of property ownership are being redefined. Micro ownership, coupled with maximum gain in terms of lifestyle and convenience, epitomizes the future of real estate investment and ownership in an increasingly interconnected world.

Bleisure by NTL Trust - How to Achieve it Through Citizenship by Investment
Lifestyle spotlight: Bleisure by NTL Trust - How to Achieve it Through Citizenship by Investment
Indulge in the extraordinary - where business meets leisure, and luxury knows no bounds.
In the ever-evolving landscape of luxury travel, a new lifestyle trend is taking center stage among High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) - Bleisure. Blending business with leisure, this trend is reshaping the way HNWI approach international travel, and citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean are emerging as the ideal path to cater to this luxurious fusion.
Bleisure – coin of roaring 20s
Bleisure, the seamless integration of business and leisure travel, is not just a trend; it's a lifestyle adopted by HNWI, who find the perfect blend of work and relaxation during their international journeys. What's driving this trend? The answer lies in the prolonged stays in various destinations around the world and symbiosis of work and personal life that took place in post pandemic years, and unique investment opportunities that HNWI encounter while globe-trotting.
The HNWI Influence on Bleisure Travel
Statistics reveal that HNWI are spending nearly 40% more time abroad than the average holidaymaker. Their preferences lean towards extended stays, much longer than the regular two weeks of private time off. It's not just about business meetings; HNWI are seeking the perfect combination of traveling and active holidays, reshaping the traditional concept of leisure.
HNWI Investment Preferences
When it comes to investments, HNWI often turn to real estate and government bonds. Forbes Magazine recognizes real estate as one of the top choices for these discerning investors. However, the location is key, and the benefits extend beyond financial gains. This sets the stage for the perfect intersection with the world of Bleisure.
The Perfect Blend: Citizenship by Investment in the Caribbean
Enter citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean, offering a haven for HNWI seeking both investment opportunities and luxurious travel experiences. Countries such as Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, St Lucia, and Dominica have embraced this trend, providing a unique blend of increased mobility, global reach, and privacy for investors.
NTL Trust: Transforming Bleisure Travel
Advising us on this luxury travel revolution is NTL Trust, with 30 years of experience in the industry, a key player offering citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean and beyond. One shining example is Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment program that has a distinct real estate path: Hodges Bay, a 5-star resort that is not only a paradise for travelers but also a strategic investment opportunity. This citizenship by investment offer allows investors to gain all perks that Antigua and Barbuda citizenship provides global mobility, favorable tax regime, financial security; in exchange for investment in lucrative commercial property that is world renown, and opportunity to enjoy resort perks of week-long annual vacations while ensuring a guaranteed buyback after a five-year holding period.
Crafting the Bleisure Lifestyle
Picture this: a week of indulgence in a world-renowned resort, the freedom to explore secluded locales available only to a few, and the opportunity to invest in prime commercial real estate. Citizenship by investment with NTL Trust encapsulates the HNWI goals for a seamless blend of luxury, investment, and travel. Privacy, increased mobility, and global reach become the building blocks for the ultimate Bleisure lifestyle. Caribbean region is the perfect middle between US East Coast, South American coast and Western Europe – you can land in St Kitts and Nevis in only three short hours after tying up your business deals in Miami or fly overnight to Antigua from London and catch a break before you continue your work tour through American continent. The Caribbean is the perfect region that has it all: accessibility, privacy and otherworldly nature.
Conclusion
As the worlds of business, investment, and travel converge, citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean stand out as the key to elevating your Bleisure lifestyle. NTL Trust's offerings, exemplified by Hodges Bay, showcase how HNWI can seamlessly intertwine work, leisure, and investment in the most luxurious fashion. It's not just a journey; it's a lifestyle, and citizenship by investment is the passport to this exclusive world of possibilities.

Blevins Franks Group Financial Advice - French Succession Law – New Forced Heirship Rules
In August, France approved changes to succession law which will affect the forced heirship rules applied on French assets. It will allow children to contest a will, even if you opted for UK law to apply to your estate. This could affect the succession planning you set up over recent years.
France’s long-standing Napoleonic code was created to protect the bloodline. Children are protected heirs and must inherit 50-75% of an estate (depending on the number of children). These rules apply to your worldwide estate if you die as a habitual resident of France, and a will, even a foreign one, will be ignored if it attempts to override these reserved heirship rights.
Brussels IV
In 2015 there a welcome development for British expatriates who wish to avoid French succession laws. The European succession regulations (‘Brussels IV’) allow foreign nationals to elect for the law of their country of nationality to apply to their assets on their death, rather than that of their country of residence. Provided this election is made in their will, nationals of many common law countries (such as the UK and US) can avoid forced heirship rules and potentially choose to leave children out of a will.
France’s new succession rules for French assets
On 13 August 2021, the French Constitutional Council approved new legislation which will affect the forced heirship rules applied on French assets.
Under the new legislation, if French assets pass according to the provisions of a country which does not impose forced heirship rules – as is the case in England and Wales – the protected heirs (biological and adopted children) can make a claim for the share they would be entitled to under the French rules.
This means children could challenge the parent’s will and seek for compensation. This would even apply to estranged children who have had no contact with the parent for decades. The compensation mechanism, however, only applies to French assets.
In summary, the new rules apply where:
· the deceased individual was either habitually resident in an EU country or a national of an EU country; or
· the children were habitually resident in an EU country or nationals of an EU country; and
· the law applied in the will of the deceased individual does not include any forced heirship / protected share for his/her children.
The new legislation is likely to come into force before the end of 2021 (three months after the publication of the law) and only succession after the relevant date will be affected.
At first glance, this new legislation seems contrary to the European succession regulations which override the domestic French legislation. Therefore, there is a strong chance it will be challenged in the European Courts.
There are also outstanding questions on how the rules would apply. For example, when an election is made to apply the law of Scotland which has forced heirship rules but enables parents to disown children in some circumstances.
Does this impact you?
Many British expatriates have used Brussel’s IV to avoid France’s forced heirship rules. Now, under the new rules, if you die as a French resident and have elected, for example, to use English law, if you do not leave your biological children a share of your estate equal to what they would be entitled to under French rules, they can potentially make a claim for their protected share of your French assets.
If you wish to retain flexibility of disposition of assets at death, it is now more important to minimise the value of the assets held in France. If the new rules are applied on a strict basis (ignoring the European regulations), it will be more difficult to pass your French assets according to your wishes.
This should be considered very carefully when drafting wills in France. French may now not be willing to include the election to use the law of a country with no forced heirship rules.
The interaction with the Brussels IV rules is not yet clear, and it is likely to take some time to establish how the new rules are applied in practice.
Estate planning for France
Even before this development, we always recommend you should take specialist advice before using Brussels IV as electing for UK law may have consequences you are not aware of. You also need to watch out for high succession tax rates (up to 60%) if you leave assets to distant or non-relatives.
In any case, there are steps you can take to avoid some of these problems created by France’s succession regime. If you have not yet bought French property, take personal advice before you do as matters may be sorted by simply reviewing how the property should be held. And even what some people think of as obvious answers, such as putting property in their children’s name to avoid taxes on death can have unexpected effects, including actually increasing the tax liability.
Estate planning in France is complex, with the succession law and tax regimes very different to the UK’s. But professional advice and advance planning will make things easier and give you peace of mind, and help ensure the right money goes to the right hands at the right time.

Edmond de Rothschild Investment Convictions July 2021 - Reflection On The Year So Far – From Gloom To Boom!
“As we are entering the second half of the year, it is time to pause and reflect on the year so far. Since January, we witnessed a slow but accelerating roll-out of vaccines. As more people were vaccinated and economies re-opened we saw an acceleration of global economic growth. This in turn provided a boost to company earnings and lifted equity markets and other risky assets.”
The second half of the year is likely to be more challenging. Indeed, positive news about the reopening of the economies are now largely priced in and analysts have already revised up company earnings. Moreover central banks will start thinking about reducing their supportive policies now that the economies are re- covering from the pandemic. Read more at the link..
