Europe is in Bad Shape, What Investments Might Benefit?

[Dennis Ng]

In the last few months, bad news are coming from Europe, including the worry about Greece's national debts. The Chinese Word of Crisis says that there is typically Opportunity in Crisis.

So is there any Investment Opportunity amidst the problems in Europe?

Despite the groom and doom in Greece and Europe, there is some good news from U.K. The number of unemployed British workers fell (read the news below).

In year 2012, we will also welcome the London Olympics.

UK Sterling Pounds is now trading at HISTORICAL Low against S$ at about S$2.10......one of the simplest way to make money is Buy Low, Sell High...so the risks of Sterling Pounds falling further is actually lower compared to the chance of it going higher in the next few years as the economy recovers.

Thus, now might actually be a very good opportunity and time to invest into UK Traded Endowment (denominated in Sterling Pounds) and here are the reasons why:

1. Sterling pounds is trading at the lowest level against S$ in over 30 years. Of course, no one can guarantee that this is the lowest level it can get, but the chances of the exchange rate to be higher in say, 5 years' time from now is very high and the chances of the exchange rate to be lower than current level is extremely unlikely in 5 years' time.

2. Most of the UK Insurers have already cut bonus on their Endowment policies. What it means is that the chance that UK Insurers might cut bonus further is low. In other words, the chance that UK Insurer can deliver the returns based on current Low bonus rates is very, very high.

3. In recent months, many financial institutions have collapsed. The unique thing about UK Traded Endowment is the Statutory Guarantee provided by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Even in the worst case scenario should the UK Insurer collapses, you still get back at least 90% of the Cash Value of the Endowment policy.

I cannot think of any other investment that offers such a high level of Protection and Guarantee.

4. Because of weak market conditions, it is possible to invest into UK Traded Endowment policies at a Low price now. Low price is bad for the sellers, but it is really good news for investors, who are buying the UK Traded Endowment policies.

Buy Low is one of the ways to reduce your risks. It is always good to buy things for a good bargain and at a great discount. Thus, I'm getting very excited, what about you?

Personally, I have over S$150,000 invested into UK Traded Endowment. In Oct 2007, I took over the only company in Singapore that offers UK Traded Endowment, that is putting money where my mouth is. If you want to find out more, you can call TEP Pte Ltd at 6883 2235 or email to info@tradedendowment.com for a no obligation discussion.
