The recent Arab Spring shook the Middle East. However, the UAE remains stable and safe, with business activities at a normal level. There as been no such uprising in the region and the country has become a default refuge from unrest. These aspects lead to a trend slightly different then the usual: more traffic from Arab countries to the UAE and more business. Europe’s growing sovereign-debt crisis and the unstable US economy could well be the cause of this “regionalization” – Arabs investing their petrol dollars in other Arab countries, the UAE being the center of such activity.

Dubai has seen none of the violence that has destabilized the region. Its hotel, retail and residential real estate sectors are enjoying a boost from general stability of the country. According to Reuters, anecdotal evidence suggests that Arabs, middle class and above, are buying Dubai property to hedge their risks in other countries.

Similarly in India, a weaker currency is encouraging Indian expatriates in the Gulf to invest in domestic markets. According to the Economic Times, non-resident Indians, especially those living in the Gulf, have invested about Rs 75 crore in August and September of this year in the region, the largest pay-in in over 2 and a half years.

Recently, Russell Investments classified the UAE as an emerging market as opposed to the frontier market designation given by MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) and Standard and Poor’s. The UAE is the first Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country to graduate from frontier to emerging market status within the Russell Global Index series. The market in the UAE seems to be welcoming investments. In addition, articles say that those willing to invest in the UAE, have a longer term approach to investing and are not phased by short-term market fluctuations. This clearly demonstrates the relatively higher comparative value of investing in the UAE over other parts of the world.

According to the UAE Investor Attitudes Index as published in UAE daily – The National, about 60 per cent of the investors surveyed said it was a good time to put money in gold, and half said fixed-rate bank deposits were smart investments. The survey was based on interviews with over 750 people in the UAE, who are market investors, majority whom were expatriates. Dubai’s roar and rumble has always been connected to the real estate market. There is still over-supply in the market and investors seem to not want to invest heavily in real estate. Though there are still a number of challenges to overcome, it seems stability is on its way up.

Supporting that, Kabir Mulchandani, UAE real estate veteran says that pessimism is just in people’s minds. “I transfer property every day. My optimism comes from real demand and real purchasers with real money. I see a steady growth in prices until 2014 but then I see a significant jump between 2014 and 2016. Then probably in 2017 and 2018, when suppliers are against us to come back, hopefully we will have some stabilization.”

Once pending infrastructure projects are near completion, more investors are likely to look into investing in the property market which is certainly taking an upturn. According to a recent survey of the industry by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and INSEAD Abu Dhabi, the private equity industry in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has emerged stronger from the global financial crisis and the recent political turmoil in the region. In addition, the survey showed the small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sector has emerged as new investment target for the regional private equity players.

All in all, there seem to be enough good reasons to invest in the UAE in the long-term. The rest, time will tell!

The whole idea behind making financial investments is to get a good return on your investment. Making smart investments should be your goal. Not researching your options can possibly be the biggest mistake you can make. You want to learn as much as you can understand. Taking the time to find the most lucrative investment strategy can make the difference between you losing or winning.

How you choose to invest your money will most likely be based on how much risk you’re willing to take. As with all investment endeavors, there is a loss risk. Having a good financial plan from the start is essential. Researching the various investment strategies can help you figure out what you feel safest with.

Buy Long

Buying stock long is not a lucrative investment strategy. With this particular strategy, you can only lose what you have put into it. It may sound good to know that it offers minimal risk; it also offers the least return.

Buy short, sell long

This strategy has a little bit of risk attached to it but can be lucrative if it’s used properly. With this particular type of investment, the assets or securities that are being sold have been borrowed from a third party; intending on buying the same assets later on. The seller unloads the assets at a higher price. When the price of the assets drops, is when they pay the original owner. The seller is simply profiting from the drop in price. This strategy is profitable as long as the drop in price is substantial enough.
Buy and Hold

A passive technique, the “buy and hold” can be considered a lucrative investment strategy. The investor buys the stock and holds onto it, no matter what happens with the market. Equities to yield a higher return than assets do. This strategy is also beneficial tax wise because long term investments are taxed at a lower rate than short term investments.

Set triggers

This is not an investment technique but can also be considered a lucrative investment strategy. Set triggers for yourself. For example, a downturn in the market can be used as a trigger to buy stock that may have been too rich for your blood before. This strategy can aid in you acquiring very lucrative assets. However, you should set guidelines and limits and be sure to stick to them.

These are only four investment strategies among many. Only a professional truly understands how any of them work. Before you make any investment decisions, it would be wise to seek counsel. Let them guide you on how to make your money grow. Keep in mind however, that it is your money being invested. Just because they recommend it, doesn’t mean you have to do it if you’re uncomfortable with their suggestions.

Finding a lucrative investment strategy is a key factor in making your investments worth anything. The idea is to yield a return that is noticeable. As was stated before, with any investment there is risk. The right strategy should decrease the risk factor for you.

If you are hearing about monetizing your instruments for the first time, then you will first want to understand what we mean when we talk about instruments. These are various bonds and letters that you can purchase from the bank. Many people might like the idea of monetizing instruments, but they don’t actually own any instruments.

First of all, why do we choose to invest? We invest because we want a better financial future for ourselves, our kids, our families, we want a better lifestyle and so many more reasons.

So let’s take a look at some smart investments we can put our money into so that we can insure this lifestyle.

Let us take a look at property first. We invest in a property to make money from positive cashflow, capital gains, and renovating to build more equity in our house. Positive cashflow is basically when the tenant pays us weekly rent, and after all payments from that money we still have maybe 50 dollars left. So after 1 month we have a positive cashflow of $200. 4 weeks x $50.

Capital gains from a property is when we buy a property for a certain amount and it goes up in value over time. For example if we purchased a property for 100k, and 5 years time it went up to 200k, it means we have just made 100k from capital gains. But to do this strategy you have to educate yourself a bit, doing this will help you identify where the potential cities and suburbs to buy to gain the most capital for your property.

So how can we make money from renovating a property. Let’s say we bought a property for 200k, and we outlay 20k for the deposit, and we still had 20k left in our savings. Now if we took that 20k and used it for renovation. We then get the house revaluated, if it goes up to 250k, we have just made 30k from the renovation. So we spent 20k to make 30k, which is pretty cool. It can be a process but depending on what renovation you do to your house.

So that is how you make money from property, other ways you can make money is from shares and other investments. You can use your shares for cashflow and then use that cashflow for property.

These are smart investments that you can take action in to make sure you get that lifestyle you deserve.
