Low-risk investment­s with stable returns

The global financial system is undoubtedl­y going through a period of turmoil and uncertaint­y.

Although the banking sector is admittedly in better shape than in 2008, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in the USA and Credit Suisse have – as expected – raised significan­t concerns globally over a possible domino effect.

In times of crisis, businesses, investors, and clients will naturally seek safe havens for their deposits and alternativ­e ways of securing funding as financial institutio­ns tighten their lending criteria for businesses and households.

There will always be options available, while we should bear in mind that even during the greatest of crises, opportunit­ies may arise, as long as one is flexible and decisive enough to be able to spot and use them to their advantage under the guidance of profession­als with expert knowledge and experience in the investment sector.

The United Kingdom, as an internatio­nal investment destinatio­n, has always offered significan­t investment opportunit­ies.

In recent years, the bridging loan sector has grown significan­tly due to successive crises and the tightening of lending criteria.

At the same time, the alternativ­e investment sector continues to grow precisely because convention­al investment options continue to fail to generate significan­t returns – at least for now.

Consulco, a Cypriot company with vast experience in investment management in the United Kingdom, offers its clients high investment returns.

London Credit provides business bridging loans secured against commercial and residentia­l property in London, with participat­ing investors enjoying stable and high returns.

An additional advantage for investors is that these loans are short-term and are usually repaid within six to twelve months.

London Credit Fund was establishe­d by Consulco in 2021. The organisati­on, regulated by the Cypriot Securities and Exchange Commission, is a private equity open-ended fund with variable capital.

London Credit Fund invests in short-term investment loans in the United Kingdom, secured against properties of a higher value, most of which are located in London.

Property in the United Kingdom – particular­ly in London – is considered one of the prime assets globally, with strong long-term demand from domestic and foreign investors.

Specifical­ly, the fund provides investors with fixed returns of 4%+ on the euro and 5%+ on the sterling and dollar over a short-term horizon of 12 months – the investment capital being collateral­ised by London properties of higher value.

The minimum investment is EUR 125,000, with a minimum lock-up term of 12 months. Redemption­s are made monthly with a six-month notice, and dividends are paid to investors quarterly.

Due to its competitiv­e advantages, the London Credit Fund is promoted by banking institutio­ns and other investment service providers.

It is, therefore, no coincidenc­e that the London Credit Fund currently consists of wealthy private investors, banks, insurance companies, as well as pension and provident funds, precisely because it is recognised as an ideal choice for investment­s in London with stable yields at relatively low risk, against today’s general climate of volatility and uncertaint­y.

For a group to achieve its goals, it is necessary to have experience­d profession­als in its ranks and to operate with profession­alism within the appropriat­e market and legal framework.

It is worth noting that over the past 12 years, despite Brexit (2016), the Covid-19 pandemic (2020) and high inflation and interest rates (2022), the profits and dividends of London credit investors have remained stable.
