Wealth Going Global - Module 2 | Countries - where do you invest in the world?
If I was to ask you what are the Top 5 countries to invest in? Put in the comments below where you think that is? Do you use your gut feel, or fundamentals, facts and systems? This is how we do it... In a rapidly changing world, where geopolitical uncertainty, monetary shifts, and technological acceleration intersect, choosing where to invest has never been more critical—or more complex. This module brings together the world’s most trusted data, frameworks, and foresight tools to help you make SMART investment decisions across global real estate and alternative assets. We begin with the scenario planning methodology of Clem Sunter, a leading futurist, whose system of flags and probabilities helps us anticipate global economic outcomes with realism and precision. Using his latest insights for both global and South African scenarios, we anchor our risk-adjusted investment strategy in plausible future states, rather than rigid forecasts. From there, we apply our proprietary Global Property System™ (GPS)—a data-driven, comparative model that ranks countries by their Risk Index and Return Index across three asset classes: - Residential Real Estate - Commercial Property - Alternative Assets (e.g. VC, Private Credit, Infrastructure) Each country is evaluated using structured fundamentals: - Yield & Capital Growth Potential - Legal Environment & Rule of Law - Demographics & Demand Drivers - Infrastructure & Market Liquidity - Economic/Political Stability - GIDDS™ – Our Global Investment Due Diligence System to assess long-term sustainability, sector strength, and geopolitical resilience Throughout this module, every ranking and recommendation is backed by primary source data from global authorities such as: - Knight Frank - PwC & ULI - The Economist - CBRE, JLL, and Deloitte - IMF, World Bank, Global Citizen Solutions - Visual Capitalist, Reuters, and McKinsey You’ll also see how we integrate passports and second residency into this strategic framework. In an era where mobility is both a privilege and a hedge, we evaluate the Top 20 countries to acquire a first-world passport through investment, balancing visa-free access, investment thresholds, legal protections, and global positioning.
