I take great pleasure in welcoming you to The Green Investment Company. As a successful Independent Financial Advisor with more than 20 years experience and Chief Executive of this pioneering business, I am very proud to offer you the opportunity to successfully take control of your financial future by joining myself and my team in a new era of financially rewarding yet socially responsible investments.
The last few years have been incredibly volatile and the collapse of some of the world’s largest financial institutions, coupled with the real uncertainty surrounding exactly how the UK and other countries plan to tackle huge sovereign debt mountains, has undoubtedly been a major driving force behind many investors recently deciding to turn away from risky and poorly performing traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, property and, dare I say it, even pensions.
As the world emerges from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, so many of you are rightly worried about financial security and your future. Yet despite these worries, I urge you to remain focussed, be forward thinking and not be deterred by recent economic events in order for you to reach your goals.
I have been around for many of the market’s highs and lows and my experiences have equipped me with extensive knowledge and sound financial instincts, which allow me to spot real opportunities when I see them. I have recently spent many months searching for the next big thing, something robust and resilient and less volatile than traditional investments. I decided it was time to go back to basics, to concentrate on simple key investment principles such as supply and demand, sustainability and logic. Change was needed, not just in the way we think about investment strategy, but change in asset class; change for ethical and responsible reasons and change in the geography of our investments.
This change of approach took us East, to the great emerging powers of India, China and Asia Pacific. To my amazement, we discovered a number of alternative investment products that have not only remained strong throughout the financial crisis, but have consistently outperformed most other traditional investments.
The country that most impressed the TGIC team on our travels was Sri Lanka. It is a sleeping tiger that has just awoken and it is to play a major part in supplying the fastest growing economy in the world, India. Over the past year, TGIC has been building strong relationships with plantation companies and key investment partners in the country and I now believe we have the formula for secure and highly rewarding investments, which range over the short, medium and long term, which can be tailored to suit your personal requirements.
