Sky Group is a private, and independent investment fund which offers several investment products designed to provide security, and guarantee to our investors, through a combination of growth, and yearly returns of a minimum 6% to 12%. Unlike other funds, investment into Sky Group is secured, and guaranteed by ample real estate collateral.
The fund exclusively invests in real estate mortgage assets in emerging markets of Costa Rica , and agricultural oilseed commodity assets backed by real estate in Costa Rica.
Worldwide, investment in real estate is continuing to grow. Institutional investors are increasing their holdings of real estate; and investors with long-term liabilities, such as insurance companies and pension funds, view real estate as a useful investment.
The traditional features of Real Estate:
- stable yields, regular cash flows
- tax writeoff capability
- inflation hedge protection
- prospect of appreciation in capital value.
- best risk/return ratio, (as confirmed by the Sharpe ratio, which measures the performance of an investment fund, including adjustment for risk)
Wise Real Estate Investment
Many real estate markets in the developed world have become stagnant, and high ROI’s for investors are almost non existent. It is becoming increasingly difficult to see even a modest return on real estate investment in almost every area of the United States, Western Europe, and Canada. There is a current recession in many developed world real estate markets, (especially in the U.S.), and more investors in these markets are actually experiencing losses. Furthermore, if an investor does manage to turn a modest profit, government taxation takes a sizeable share of it.
Sky Group’s principals believe that real opportunities lie in emerging markets like Costa Rica.
Costa Rica Market Advantages
- Costa Rica is recognized as one of the most beautiful places on Earth, with miles of coastline, and immense natural beauty
- It is a friendly, stable democracy, which upholds individual freedoms, and property rights, even for foreigners.
- Costa Rica is experiencing huge economic growth, and prosperity
- Property values are appreciating acutely there due to increases in tourism, foreign investment, and foreigners relocating there.
- No capital gains taxes in Costa Rica
- Extremely low real estate property taxes
- CNBC and U.S. World News Report have called Costa Rica “The hottest Real Estate market in the World”.
Sky Group believes that there is no better time than now to take advantage of opportunities that exist in Costa Rica.
The trend in Global oilseed production and Costa Rica productivity:
- Global palm oil production and trade have risen steeply and continuously from the 1970’s onward. In the last 10 years there have been above average growth rates in Palm Oil.
- Palm oil yields per acre of land far exceed those of other vegetable oil.
- Rising crude oil prices, and new demand for vegetable oil for biodiesel production has had a major influence on recent strengthening of prices, lifting vegetable oil prices in general.
- Climate and soil conditions in Costa Rica allow for the highest possible crop yields per acre in the whole world.
