Emerging Market Property creates opportunities for investment in real estate development projects using a range of structures and products designed to suit the needs of different investors.

EMP takes care of the entire development and sales/disposal process for each of its projects and is responsible for project management, sales, financing and other functions required to deliver a completed project and sell it on the most advantageous terms. EMP’s interests are always closely aligned with those of its investors as the most significant part of its returns from project development are dependent on the amount of profit that investors realise from their investment.

Private investors may wish to invest alongside others in a particular EMP development project. This gives rise to considerable advantages compared to the traditional direct property investment: potentially higher returns; economies of scale; and less need for time-consuming ‘hands-on’ involvement in the development process.

Alternatively, private investors may consider investing in property development funds created by EMP, which offer greater diversity of investment and the opportunity to invest for the longer term in the emerging market property sectors with the potential for enhanced capital growth.

Institutional investors have the opportunity to invest at various stages in the development cycle to match their risk appetite; either directly in projects in joint venture arrangements with EMP or as participants in funds to which EMP provides the full range of development and management services. Institutional investors may take majority or minority interests in projects, as required.
