We believe in global growth. This growth is happening in more diverse regions than ever before. As capitalism and the globally linked economy develop, middle classes are growing rapidly in places like Latin America and South America, China, Korea and India. This new middle class is characterized by; rapidly growing population base, increasing purchasing power and, most importantly, access to capital. These are the very conditions which heralded the growth of the United States of America to world financial and super power status. Ascendant was created to provide access to this growing market in Central/South
America. Major drivers of growth for this region include; infrastructure investment
and build out, developing agricultural and industrial economies, political
stability, and further legal linkages to American markets through regional
free-trade agreements like NAFTA/CAFTA. We believe holding investments in regions
with growth and access to this new middle class provide above-average potential
for asset appreciation. Trends...We operate with an belief that a number of trends have direct impact on investment return. Massive borrowing and deficit spending by western governments has increased the risk for; inflation, falling purchasing power, and currency devaluation. In these ways, growth and investment returns in the more developed world may be hindered by these factors. Owning property is considered the ultimate hedge against inflation and by controlling property in regions with underlying growth characteristics, we add valuable extra upside to the proposition. Also in our favour is the environmental trend. Strict environmental laws provide a stable floor under values by preserving natural beauty and the long term value of property. We also have plans to develop and market around state-of-the-art ecologically advantaged buildings. Our real experience and abilities in this area are a definite strength. Focus...This capital shift toward REAL ASSETS, that is, assets that hold or grow during inflationary times, could continue or even accelerate...
